Cancelo is believed to have signed a six-year deal for a fee of £60 million becoming the most expensive full-back in history.

"I'm here to help my team-mates and Manchester City to reach their goals," he said in a brief video clip shared on the social media account.
He also revealed that his old friend and former Benfica team-mate Bernando Silva had told him that the club was "amazing...and the atmosphere is great."
Cancelo, 25, spent one season at Juve, helping them to an eighth successive Serie A title. He has also previously played for Valencia and Inter Milan.
Meanwhile, right back Danilo has moved in the opposite direction for a fee of around £34 million.
