The England global, 29, is yet to make an appearance this season and has been told by new boss Pep Guardiola he can leave the club if he wants.

Caballero surprisingly started City’s first three games of the season ahead of Hart, whose appearance against Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League yesterday may well prove to be his last in a City shirt after 10 years with the club. “I know he is a legend of the club and part of the reason the club has been successful is Joe”.
Even City with all their money don’t want to pay £7 million in wages to a 3rd string goalkeeper so I expect Hart to be gone. I make a lot of mistakes. “We all know there is a situation going on, but I feel that inside, outside of all the circus, we are handling it well as a good team with a good management staff”.
“All I can do is keep playing football and keep enjoying myself and keep getting clean sheets which is always good and keep the winning run going”. I’m really happy that Fabian scored and he’s won us a game in the Champions League. You have to take a decision to impact on the life of the players. “We have a game at Stoke on Saturday and that is more important than all the rumours”.
Still, Hart is confident he and the Catalan coach can reach a solution to the problem surrounding his future, insisting they will do so in a mature manner. I am so happy with what he did today. I was honest with Joe, the club and all the players in the squad.
Hart, who made his only start of the new season in the win over Steaua, is expected to leave City before the transfer window closes next week, with Sevilla tipped as the frontrunners for his signature.
Bravo was in attendance at the Etihad for the 1-0 second leg win.
The 22-year-old has drawn comparisons with Pique, victor of three straight LaLiga crowns and two Champions League titles under Guardiola at Camp Nou. “We were the better team in Bucharest and we were the better team tonight”, he added. We were not in the right decisions.
“We wanted to build on a good victory away from home”.

He said: “This is a special place for me, there’s never been any secret made of that”. We attacked with more intensity in the second half.
