Manchester City have signed Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry in a £12 million deal.
The 28-year-old is Manchester City's first summer signing, and has penned a five-year deal at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Barry had been expected by some to sign for Liverpool this summer, but has opted for Eastlands despite the Citizens' failure to attain European football for 2009-10.
The England international is expected to line up alongside Stephen Ireland in City's midfield, having already become acquainted with the club today during his medical.
City spent more than any other Premier League club last season, and have begun this summer in similar fashion, making a "clear signal of intent" heading into the transfer window.
Barry is a member of Fabio Capello's England squad to meet Kazakhstan this weekend.
