Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo in England today for Man City medical

Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo will be in England today to undergo a Manchester City medical.

The Sun says he is on his way to Manchester to complete his £14.5million move to City.

Pep Guardiola identified the Barcelona keeper at the man he wants as his Etihad No1 this season.

City agreed a fee and personal terms for the Chile international last week but Barca were reluctant to sign off the deal before they had secured a replacement.

Bravo, 33, played in the La Liga opener against Real Betis on Saturday the Catalan giants are now believed to be on the verge of signing Ajax keeper Jasper Cillessen.

And the former Real Sociedad star was spotted boarding a place in Barcelona on Tuesday morning.

It is understood City will confirm the deal - which could rise to £18m - on Wednesday after he undergoes a medical.
