The 34-year-old Argentine will join the Premier League champions for next summer and provide backup to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, following the departure of James Trafford to Leeds. City are also in talks with Barcelona over the transfer of midfielder Rodri, who is valued between £40 million and £70 million by Manchester City.
