For an undisclosed amount, which could reach around 9 million euros, Gael Clichy acquired a defender from London.

The French national team member did not hide his desire to leave the team and decided to put his signature on a four-year contract with Manchester City.

"I am delighted to join such a big club," said the 25-year-old football player. "We have a great team, but I hope to strengthen it.

I am looking forward to the start of the season and work. I am happy to play again with Kolo Toure because when I first arrived in England, he helped me a lot, gave me advice. At one point, his wife even cooked for me.

The football player was also interested in Liverpool and Roma.
