Lille coach Bielsa wants reunion with Man City keeper Bravo

New Lille coach Marcelo Bielsa is chasing Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

The Mirror says Bielsa, who has taken over at the Ligue 1 side, worked with the player during his time as Chile boss between 2007 and 2011.

He would like to take the former Barcelona stopper, who cost City £15.4million last summer, on loan.

Bravo has said he is prepared to fight Ederson for the No 1 spot, but he would struggle to dislodge the Brazilian because City think so highly of their new man.

The Chilean has struggled badly in England.
