Manchester City has signed Romania goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon from Romanian club FC Poli Timisoara.
The 24-year-old Pantilimon made two appearances against City last season in a Europa League qualifier. Manchester City won the tie 3-0 on aggregate.
The 6-foot-8 Pantilimon has played for Romania 13 times and will act as cover for first-choice goalkeeper Joe Hart. The signing is subject to a successful work permit application.
