​DONE DEAL: Barcelona keeper Bravo inks Man City deal

Manchester City have signed goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Barcelona on a four year deal.

The 33 year old Chile international is expected to start ahead of England keeper Joe Hart and Argentine Willy Caballero.

Bravo joined Barcelona in 2014 and has won two La Liga titles, the Champions League and Fifa Club World Cup.

Barca said in a statement: "The club will receive 18 million euros plus a further two million in variables as a result of the transfer deal."

Bravo said of his move to Manchester City: "It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse.

"Now I will challenge the other great goalkeepers the Club has and together I hope we can win many trophies."
