Speaking to the club’s official website, the shot-stopper said: “I’m very proud to be joining Manchester City. I know the Club is building something very special and I hope I can be part of many successes in the coming years.”

He continued: “It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse.”

The former Real Sociedad man could be set to make his Premier League debut this weekend as the Sky Blues play hosts to West Ham at The Etihad on Sunday.
