Manchester City Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Joe Hart and Claudio Bravo

Alex KebleApr 19, 2017

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will reportedly move to Liverpool when his loan deal with Torino ends after Jurgen Klopp "signs off" on a transfer worth £20 million, according to Neil Custis of The Sun.

The 30-year-old has no future at City following Pep Guardiola's decision to move him on at the beginning of the 2016-17 campaign, and although Torino reportedly hoped to extend his loan stay in Italy, Hart's most likely destination is the Premier League.

Torino manager Sinisa Mihajlovic admitted on Saturday that the Serie A club cannot afford City's asking price, per Jamie Gordon of The Sun.

"Hart would like to stay at Torino but we knowthe club and him toothat we can’t buy him," he said.

Per Custis, City originally did not want Hart to stay in England, but Paul Hirst of The Times reported in February that the club are open to a Premier League rival taking the England goalkeeper—if they are willing to part with £20 million. 

Liverpool are reportedly the front-runners, with manager Klopp having given the club the green light on a bid of the quoted amount. Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have alternated in goal this season for the Reds, highlighting the need for a new No. 1 at Anfield.

However, Klopp's goalkeeping woes are nowhere near as severe as Guardiola's.

Claudio Bravo has struggled since signing for £15.4 million from Barcelona last summer. His poor record was highlighted before the match against Hull City on April 8 by football writer Richard Jolly:

Despite his bad start to life in England, Bravo reportedly wants to stay at the club beyond the end of the current season and keep fighting for his place in the first team, according to Daniel Cutts for The Sun.

"Claudio is planning to stay for at least next season," a City source said, per Cutts, who reported that Guardiola is searching for a new No. 1.

With Hart reportedly about to leave the club, Bravo should be in a position to challenge for games in 2017-18—but his performances will have to improve if fans are to be convinced that Guardiola made the right decision in letting the England international go.
