 Corradi joined Valencia from Lazio in 2004 |
Manchester City have completed the signing of Valencia striker Bernardo Corradi for an undisclosed fee. The 30-year-old former Italy international, who spent last season on loan at Parma, has signed a three-year contract at Eastlands.
City boss Stuart Pearce told his club's website: "I am delighted to have secured Bernardo.
"He is a player I've been looking at for some time and he will be a terrific acquisition for this football club."
Corradi joined Valencia from Lazio in 2004 but was loaned out to Parma after a disappointing first season in Spain.
He scored 10 goals in 35 Serie A appearances for Parma and they hoped to exercise an option to keep him for a second season but Valencia decided to sell him instead.
Corradi said: "I hope to bring all my enthusiasm to Manchester City and I want to show everyone I want to work hard now and during the season with my team-mates. I want to do well here.
"I hope to have the possibility to work well with my team. As I striker I will work hard and help the team to make a lot of goals.
"At the end the important thing is the team - and by working together as one the team will end in a good position."
