City complete £12m Barry transfer

Manchester City have confirmed the £12million signing of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa, with the England midfielder agreeing a five-year deal.

Barry: Joins Man City

The 28-year-old completed a medical at Eastlands earlier on Tuesday.

Barry, who was a target for Liverpool last summer, leaves Villa after 12 years and more than 400 matches.

He had publicly stated he wanted to play in the Champions League and manager Martin O'Neill knew it would be difficult to hang on to the player should one of the top four come calling.

However, Barry's decision to join the revolution - bankrolled by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan - being undertaken by Mark Hughes at Eastlands will have come as a shock to O'Neill and Villa fans alike.

City have not even qualified for next season's revamped Europa League and some supporters are certain to believe Barry has moved because of the £80,000-a-week salary at Eastlands.
