Manchester City have completed the £62million signing of centre-back Ruben Dias on a six-year deal from Benfica.

Benfica on Sunday confirmed they had reached an agreement to sell Dias for 68 million euros (£62 million, $A112m) plus an extra 3.6 million euros ($A6m) in potential bonuses, with Nicolas Otamendi heading in the opposite direction for 15 million euros ($A25m).

“To have the opportunity to join a club like Manchester City is a fantastic opportunity,” said Dias in a City statement.

“Their success speaks for itself. They have been the dominant team in England over the last few years, playing an attacking brand of football which I feel suits my own game.

“It is really exciting to be part of such a talented squad and to play for a world-class manager like Pep Guardiola. I believe I can improve here, at a club whose ambitions match my own.”

Dias becomes City’s second defensive signing of the summer after bringing in Nathan Ake from Bournemouth in a deal worth an initial £40m in August.
