The Premier League champions made the announcement in a statement posted on the club’s official website, on Thursday.
The statement reads: “Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Spanish midfielder Rodri.
“The 23-year-old joins on a five-year deal from Atletico Madrid and follows Angelino to become Pep Guardiola’s second signing of the summer.
