Manchester City have completed the signing of Porto midfielder Fernando, according to reports.

Portuguese newspaper Diario de Notícias claims the Blues have finally landed the anchorman for a fee between £12-16million.

City initially tried to sign the 26-year-old as part of a double-deal with defender Eliaquim Mangala back in January, but after failing to agree a fee with Porto, City have come back this summer to conclude a straight deal for Fernando.

The Brazilian-born midfielder is expected to fly into Manchester in the coming days to put pen to paper on the move.
