Here at mcfc.co.uk we try to keep you updated with information on all our latest acquisitions and that of Bernardo Corradi is no different:

1. Bernardo was born on March 30, 1976 in Siena, Italy. 

2. An Italian international, Corradi has won 13 caps scoring two goals for the Azzuri.

3. He represented his country at the Euro 2004 Championships in Greece.

4. Our latest recruit becomes the first Italian to pull on the famous Blue shirt of City and will wear number 30.

5. The hitman scored 10 times in a total of 36 games during a successful loan period with Parma last season.

6. He has played in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup during his time in both Italy and Spain.

7. Also played in Valencia’s 2-1 European Super Cup win over Porto at Monaco’s Stade Louis II in August 2004.

8. The 30-year-old is already familiar with one City player, recent signing Ousmane Dabo played for one season with Bernardo, whilst both players represented Italian club Lazio.

9. And for all those Italian speakers, Bernardo has his own very flash looking website -www.bernardocorradi.it 

10. Became famous for his exuberant goal scoring celebrations, which include pretending to be a matador while at Valencia and surfing on advertising hoardings...so hopefully he’ll have something up his sleeve for his first City goal!
