Manchester City have accidentally 'confirmed' the arrival of Kalidou Koulibaly during their announcement of the deal to bring Ruben Dias to the club.
City had been heavily linked with a move for the Napoli centre-back but were ultimately put off by his asking price, instead turning their attention to Dias.
Pep Guardiola's side completed the club-record signing of Dias from Benfica earlier this week, splashing up to £65m on the 23-year-old.
However, when officially announcing the transfer on their website, the former champions made an embarrassing gaffe by giving fans the opportunity to ask their new signing Koulibaly a question.

Man City are not expected to move for any more centre-backs this summer, having already spent more than £100m on Nathan Ake and Dias.
