It seems Pep Guardiola was the main factor in why he signed for them, and for an ex-Real Madrid player, he seems to hold the former Barcelona manager in very high esteem.
City have seen a number of defenders depart the club since the end of last season.
The 26-year-old becomes the club's fourth major acquisition of the summer after midfielder Bernardo Silva, goalkeeper Ederson Moraes and fellow right-back Kyle Walker. 'There has been strong interest from other clubs, but it has always been my ambition to play for Pep Guardiola.
