Claudio Bravo lands in Manchester ahead of City medical

Claudio Bravo's switch from Barcelona to Manchester City moves a step closer, as the Chile international touches down in Britain ahead of a proposed medical.

Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has landed in Britain ahead of a medical at Manchester City, which is reportedly scheduled for this evening.

The Chile international has been closing in on a move to the Etihad Stadium over the past week after the Catalan giants made it known that City's interest was solid.

A deal between the two clubs was agreed at the weekend and now Bravo, who will oust Wilfredo Caballero and Joe Hart as the Citizens' number one, is on the verge of completing his switch to the Premier League.

As reported on Tuesday morning, the 33-year-old has arrived in Manchester for a medical which is expected to take place in the coming hours, before officially putting pen to paper.


Bravo's arrival at City was expected to spell the end of Hart's future at the club, but Everton - the favourites to land his signature - have reportedly pulled out of a deal.
