Roma have completed the signing of Aleksandar Kolarov from Manchester City for €5million.
The left-back, 31, has signed a three-year contract with the Serie A club that will run until June 30, 2020.
His exit from the Etihad Stadium ends a seven-year association with City for the Serbia international, who won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup in his time in Manchester.
When I came in 2010, honestly, I didn t expect to play so long, Kolarov told City s official website. Today is the day I have to say goodbye. Everything was quick the last couple of days. For me, it s a very sad day.
In every part of the club we have improved not 100 per cent but 200 per cent. Now we are a far better club than what we were when I came. I am proud that I was part of making City the club that it is.
For me it was a great pleasure to play for this shirt.
He added to Roma s website: I am extremely happy to be here. I will give 100 per cent and more for Roma.
My objective is always the same: to win.
Kolarov becomes Roma s seventh signing of an extremely busy transfer window for the club under new sporting director Monchi.
Aleksandar is a player with vast experience who can immediately contribute to the team, Monchi, said. I believe he will help us develop, on and off the pitch.
I want to thank him for the enthusiasm and willingness he has shown in wanting to come to Roma.
Kolarov has already joined up with Roma s training camp in Boston. The Giallorossi face Tottenham in New Jersey on Tuesday.
