Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia.
The 27-year-old is understood to have cost the Premier League side £28.5million and has penned a five-year contract.
Otamendi will bolster central defensive ranks at City that include two familiar faces in former Porto team-mate Eliaquim Mangala and international colleague Martin Demichelis, as well as captain Vincent Kompany.
The Argentina International had been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid but was unveiled as City's fifth signing following the arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph, Enes Unal and Patrick Roberts.
Otamendi was named in La Liga's Team of the Year last season and City Coach Pellegrini has backed the centre back to immediately fit in at the club.
