The defensive midfielder won the Europa League three times with Sevilla and played 169 times for the club after joining from Levante in 2013.
He follows Harry Maguire to the King Power Stadium after the defender joined for £17milliion from Hull last month and will link up with his new team-mates ahead of a pre-season training camp in Austria next week.
Manager Craig Shakespeare added: "I'm absolutely delighted that Vicente has joined us. He's player with such a good pedigree from his time in Spain with Sevilla and he adds some really strong competition to our squad."
