Claudio Bravo is likely to move to Manchester City.

Barcelona has confirmed that it has reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Barcelona's sports director, Robert Fernandez, says the Catalan club has a deal in principle with Manchester City for Claudio Bravo.

Bravo has been linked to a move to the Premier League club with City's new coach, Pep Guardiola, having benched longtime starter Joe Hart.

Fernandez adds that Barcelona is seeking to sign a replacement who would share goalkeeping duties with Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The 33-year-old Bravo has helped Barcelona win the last two Spanish league titles.
