Galatasaray have completed the signing of midfielder Fernando from Manchester City.
The Turkish side confirmed the move had been finalised on Friday, a deal that will cost them a transfer fee of €5.25million, which could rise by a further €900,000 in bonuses.
Gala also revealed Fernando has signed a three-year deal and will earn an annual salary of €3.3m.
The 30-year-old spent three seasons with City, who he joined from Porto in 2014, but only started five Premier League matches in 2016-17, Pep Guardiola s first campaign in charge.
Thank you, !

City had left Fernando, who leaves with the 2016 League Cup as his only major honour, out of their pre-season tour of the United States prior to Gala confirming talks over a move on Thursday.
The Brazilian was grateful for his three years in England, telling the club s website: It has been a pleasure to play for Manchester City.
The Club has looked after me incredibly well throughout my time here and I have enjoyed the challenge of playing for a top team in probably the world s toughest league.
The League Cup success of 2016 was a highlight for me and something I will never forget.
Director of football Txiki Begiristain thanked him for his service, saying: Fernando has been an excellent servant for City.
He is a dedicated professional and a player who has made a significant contribution throughout his time here.
I am sure he will continue to prove his quality for years to come.
Guardiola has now sold or released eight players from last season s squad in his transfer-window clearout, Fernando following Kelechi Iheanacho, Nolito, Aleksandar Kolarov, Willy Caballero, Jesus Navas, Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta out of the exit door.
