Manchester City are reportedly close to signing Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, but Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s injury is the reason for delay in a transfer.
Bravo could be playing his last game for Barcelona tonight against Sevilla in the Supercopa, but it’s a unlikely the Catalan giants will sanction a sale until they sign a replacement.
Valencia’s Diego Alves is reportedly a target for Barcelona to replace Bravo, but they haven’t reached an agreement to sign him yet.
Manchester City, however, already have an agreement to sign Bravo. The Premier League side have agreed on a fee of €16m plus €4m in bonuses with Barcelona, reports Mundo Deportivo in their Wednesday edition.
Mundo Deportivo say €2m in bonuses depend on Bravo playing a number of games for Manchester City and the Premier League side qualifying for Champions league, whilst the remaining €2m depends on them wining titles.
Barcelona play Betis on Saturday in their opening La Liga fixture, and there is a chance Bravo’s transfer could be delayed until next week.
