Man City reached an agreement to recruit goalkeeper Bravo

In recent weeks, coach Pep Guardiola has been actively searching for a goalkeeper with good footwork to replace Joe Hart on the transfer market. His target is 33-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. This deal has not stopped at rumors. Barca themselves have just confirmed that they are negotiating with Man City about Bravo.

Technical secretary Robert Fernandez announced on the Catalan club's Twitter: "We have reached an initial agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Claudio Bravo." The goalkeeper played in Barca's 6-2 win over Betis in the first round of La Liga, but with the above developments, it is likely that this will be Bravo's last match in the Catalan club's shirt.

Barca are also looking for a replacement for Bravo. Fernandez said: “We were waiting for something to happen this week. When Claudio leaves, we hope to have a new goalkeeper.” The “goalkeeper” that Barca is pursuing is Ajax Amsterdam’s Jasper Cillessen.

The Dutch goalkeeper will be brought to the Nou Camp as a backup for Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Dutch press also confirmed that Cillessen has agreed to join Barca on a 5-year contract, for a fee of 14 million euros.
