The 24-year-old never managed to settle in a club. After starting his career at Corinthians, he moved to Everton and Galatasaray. Since 2008 he plays at City but never managed to become a regular in the team.
Manchester City consulted with France’s three main clubs, Olympic de Marseille, Olympic Lyonnais and Paris Saint Germain, to see if they were interested in signing the player for €5million.
