The Italy international getting his first international cap this week has been handed a five yr deal worth 24 million pounds .
Roberto Mancini has expressed his utmost delight at the signing of a rising star , developed and nurtured by him during his Milan days . Mancini said: “I think that Mario is one of the best players of his age in Europe, and I am very happy to be working with him again.
“His style of play will suit the Premier League, and because he is still so young there is a big chance for him to improve. He is a strong and exciting player, and City fans will enjoy watching him.”
Chelsea meanwhile have completed the signing of Ramires from Benfica . The deal was supposed to be completed a long time ago but it went on for a long time . The 23 year old energetic midfielder is a great addition to an ageing squad and slighjtly depleted in terms of midfielders . Ramires said: “Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and it’s a great opportunity that was given to me, I will give my best to repay this chance, and I am very happy.”
