The
Chile international has moved to the Etihad Stadium on a four-year deal
to replace Joe Hart, who is now expected to leave the club before the
transfer window closes
Manchester City have completed the signing of Claudio Bravo for a fee believed to be in the region of £17 million.
Bravo will earn around £100,000 per week
after signing a four-year deal at the Etihad Stadium, almost double
what he earned during his two-year spell at Camp Nou.
The 33-year-old could make his City
debut against West Ham on Sunday afternoon, and will also be registered
in Pep Guardiola’s Uefa squad list for this season’s Champions League
campaign.
He won two La Liga titles during his
time with Barca, although he did not receive a medal from Uefa when the
Catalans won the Champions League in 2015 because he did not feature
during their European campaign.
It is believed the opportunity to play
in both the league and the Champions League was a major factor in the
Chilean’s decision to link up with Guardiola.
Bravo arrived in Manchester on Tuesday
to complete his move, although it is believed he was not present at the
Etihad on Wednesday night as Joe Hart started what could be his final
game for the club.
Barca had been keen to secure a
replacement for the double-winning Copa America keeper, and the arrival
of Jasper Cillessen from Ajax on Thursday morning allowed Bravo’s move
to be completed.
