Everton abandon deal for Joe Hart, wages and loan fee too expensive

As soon as that deal is over the line, Barcelona will give the green light for Bravo to become a Manchester City player.

The 33-year-old had been expected in Manchester on Thursday to finalise his move from the Catalan giants to the Premier League outfit, and it appears as though those reports were correct.

“I don’t know [if it will be Hart’s last game for City]”.

“Bravo? We can not deny what everyone knows because Barcelona announced contact with City about 7-10 days ago”.

Everton have already recruited Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg this summer after Tim Howard moved back to the United States, but Hart would present an upgrade on the Netherlands global.

Guardiola told reporters on Tuesday, “I have an excellent relationship with Joe”.

Hart believes the new City manager never had him in his plans before arriving at the Etihad.

Of course, we’re not clear from the footage if Hart’s training session *did* end at this point. I have said many times, he is a player of us.

Ronald Koeman’s side discovered they would have to fork out around £7 million to take the 29-year-old on loan, with his £135,000-per-week wages being taken into account. Joe Hart and Yaya Toure have a chance to play tomorrow. “He has shown us, he has shown me, that in this team he is mentally strong and can focus on his job from the beginning of the game”.

Guardiola’s desire to sign Bravo has cast doubt on the future of England number one Hart, who Sky sources understand is now nearly certain to leave the club before the deadline. “I will make some rotations with the players”. I don’t know how many, they all deserve to play and I am so confident about all the players.

“I have seen many times in the Champions League – at half-time an experienced team like AC Milan were 3-0 ahead and the final was done, but Liverpool won the Champions League final”.

He added: “There’s always that time in football where people say that when you have the dip, it’s how well do you overcome it”.
