Manchester City has announced the £13.8 million ($18.34 million) signing of Spanish international Nolito from the La Liga club Celta Vigo on a four-year contract, Sky Sports reports.

It means 29-year-old Nolitio - whose real name is Manuel Agudo Duran - will rejoin his old Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, who also joined Manchester City in time for the next season.

Nolito joined Celta in 2013 and debuted for Spain a year later, with 13 caps currently to his name.

Spain crashed out of the Euro 2016 championships on Monday, losing 2-0 to Italy.

City will be looking to exploit Nolito's versatility: he has proven himself both as a forward and a left-winger.
