Barcelona has confirmed that it has reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Barcelona's sports director, Robert Fernandez, says the Catalan club has a deal in principle with Manchester City for Claudio Bravo.

Bravo has been linked to a move to the Premier League club with City's new coach, Pep Guardiola, having benched longtime starter Joe Hart.

Fernandez adds that Barcelona is seeking to sign a replacement who would share goalkeeping duties with Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The 33-year-old Bravo has helped Barcelona win the last two Spanish league titles.
