LONDON, July 4 — Manchester City have re-signed left back Angelino from PSV Eindhoven a year after they sold him to the Dutch club, the Premier League champions said yesterday.
The 22-year-old Spanish defender has signed a four-year contract which will keep him at the club until 2023, with British media reporting City activated a £5.3 million (RM27.5 million) buy-back clause in his contract.
“I am thrilled to have rejoined City, a side playing incredible football under Pep Guardiola,” Angelino said in a statement. “Watching them while playing in Holland has been a pleasure.
“City’s performances over the last two seasons have been incredible and I am very excited about returning and contributing to the club’s bid for more success.”
He did not make a single league appearance for City during his first stint but made more than 40 appearances for PSV.
Angelino’s signing follows the announcement of City paying the €70 million buyout clause for Spanish international holding midfielder Rodri.
City will kick off their 2019-20 Premier League season with an away trip to West Ham United on Aug. 10. — Reuters
