Manchester City have signed Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia on Thursday, the Premier League club said, in a deal reportedly worth around 32 million pounds (50 million dollars). The 27-year-old signed a five-year deal, joining Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph in summer moves to the Etihad Stadium. "I am here to give my best, to fight game by game and push City to the highest peaks for as long as possible, and I wish we will be able to win several cups and titles," Otamendi told the City website. "That's the most important. To be here inside a club that looks so wonderful from the outside is a dream." City manager Manuel Pellegrini said Otamendi was perhaps the best defender in the Spanish league last season. "Naturally I'm delighted to have added a player of his quality," he said. "He is an established international for one of the best nations in world football and I have no doubt that he has the right mentality to fit into a squad where he will find many familiar faces, including Eliaquim and Fernando who he played alongside in Portugal. "As a footballer, Nicolas has all of the qualities to be a success in the Premier League - he's strong, he's excellent in the tackle and he's very good technically. "I am sure he will become another Argentine player our fans will enjoy watching." | |||||
