Rating Manchester City's 27 £20m-plus signings
Manchester City completed the £52m signing of Danilo on Monday.
And if your reaction to such a mega-money deal was to shrug, we don’t blame you.
The France international is the third massive full-back signing made by City this summer, following hot on the heels of Danilo's arrival from Real Madrid in a £26m deal.
Danilo isn’t even the most expensive right-back this for a club that have made big buys the norm, not the exception.
Mendy was the 27th player to arrive at the Etihad for £20m or more. Here’s the full list – with our five-star value rating.
