Gianluigi Donnarumma says Manchester City were the "only option" he wanted to join this summer and he already feels he has been at the club "for many years".
The goalkeeper was deemed surplus to requirements by Paris St-Germain boss Luis Enrique and joined City on deadline day for £26m.
That decision came despite the Italy international helping PSG win three trophies last season, including the Champions League.
"I was very clear, my desire was to come here," said Donnarumma. "That was my only option, the only thing I wanted.
"My only choice was to come here... so I am happy to be here at City and be part of this fantastic team.
"Before the summer I knew that City were very interested in me, the relationship strengthened after the Club World Cup.
"I knew the coach was pushing for my arrival here, everyone wanted me here, it gave me such pride to see such a demonstration of affection. I didn't hesitate to come here with great joy and enthusiasm."
