England no 1 shot stopper 'Joe Hart', is reportedly interested in a move to Spanish outfit Sevilla after Pep Guardiola seems certain of his preferred choice goal keeper.
According to reports from "Daily Mirror", Manchester City have moved a step closer to signing Claudio Bravo from Barcelona in a £17.4m deal. La liga champions Barcelona who has captured the services of Ajax goal keeper Jasper Cillessen for £10, with no doubt the imminent departure of Claudio Bravo looks likely. The deal for Bravo to Manchester City has been held due to injury of Barcelona no 1 goalie Marc-Andre ter Stegen. But with the recent capture of Jasper Cillessen, it has fueled the departure of Bravo to City.
The 6ft 5inch England shot stopper, reigns at the Etihad is likely coming to an end despite Pep Guardiola admitting before Man City opening game win against Sunderland that Joe Hart has what it takes to become a sweeper keeper.
Pep Guardiola who worked Manuel Nuer of Bayern Munich for three years, has delight working with him as he match his statistics to the kind of goal keeper he wants. Guardiola wants no 1 who relishes having the ball at his feet and prefers picking a pass over launching a long ball.
In comparison to Nuer, over the seasons of working with the German, in 97 league appearances Nuer played a total of 2,077 short passes to his team mates, almost four times as many as Hart 562. With such statistics it is with no doubt why Pep doesn't see working with Joe Hart his preferred choice.
