Galatasaray have announced the signing of Brazilian midfielder Elano on a four-year contract from Manchester City.
Elano’s future at the City of Manchester Stadium had been in doubt after he found himself dropped last season and had had been linked with moves to several clubs in Italy.
But on Thursday night, Elano accepted a surprise move to Turkey after Galatasaray confirmed he had signed a contract until 2013.
Reports have put the fee in the region of £8m – the same figure City paid to sign Elano from Shakhtar Donetsk two years ago.
