Manchester City could complete the signing of Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo today.

Bravo is edging closer to Manchester City after missing Barcelona training.

The Spanish champions revealed they had given the goalkeeper permission to do so.

His arrival at the Etihad is likely to precipitate the departure of Joe Hart, says the Mirror.

Unlike Hart, Bravo played for Barca in last night's thumping of Gus Poyet's Real Betis.
