Martin Demichelis has joined City from Atletico Madrid.
The 32-year old defender has signed a two-year contract and will wear the No.26 shirt this season.
This will be the third occasion 37-times capped Argentina international has played under Manuel Pellegrini with the pair working together previously at both River Plate and Malaga.
"I am delighted to have joined City because I am still hungry for success and want to improve," said Demichelis.
"I have been in Europe for 11 years now and this was a great chance for me to play in the Premier League with such a big club.
"When there is a change, there is always a process. There’s always a period of adjustment you have to go through. Moving from South America to Europe is a big change and you need some time to settle in because everything is new.
"But in my case, I have lived in Europe for many years and I don’t think there’ll be any problems in adjusting to life here. Now I want to repay the manager's faith in me out on the pitch. I can't wait to get started."

Demichelis left Malaga in the summer and signed for Atletico Madrid, but the chance to play for City proved too great to resist for a player who has a wealth of Champions League experience, mostly gained during a stay with Bayern Munich where he made more than 200 appearances between 2003 and 2010.
During the course of this seven-year spell, Demichelis won four Bundesliga titles, four German cups and two German League cups.
