Pep has openly admitted that England global Hart can leave the club if he wishes, and now with ‘keeper Bravo arriving shortly it seems set in stone that Hart will be leaving this summer.
Chile goalkeeper Bravo flew to Manchester from Barcelona on Tuesday and City have not denied a deal could be concluded in the coming days.
Asked about Bravo, Guardiola said: “I can not deny what everyone knows”.
Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has moved one step closer to joining Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, and is on his way to England to complete the move.
“Overall there were elements of our game I was pleased with, but other elements we need to improve on because they are the ones that cost us the game”.
Pep Guardiola’s search for a “sweeper keeper” looks over, with FC Barcelona goalkeeper and soon-to-be Manchester City signing Claudio Bravo spotted at Manchester Airport. But it is a process, so we need time to get better about our goalkicks, about our buildup or four in the back or three in the back. We have to try to play as good as possible to achieve the result. But first is play good and to play good you have to run and I was pretty sure we were able to do that. “But I’m sorry guys, until the deal is complete or not complete (I can’t speak), but at the moment the player (Bravo) is not our player”, Guardiola said.
But Iheanacho, who last week signed a two-year contract extension, says he does not feel any extra pressure.
Asked if there had been any enquiries for Hart, he told a news conference: “I don’t know”. I don’t know (about any enquiries for Hart).
England worldwide Hart, 29, began the campaign as second choice to Willy Caballero at City.
“When we pick the first squad and they meet up here there will be some lads who don’t play on a regular basis. I will make some rotations with the players”.
Guardiola said Hart could make a first appearance of the season against Steaua, with City holding a 5-0 advantage in the play-off tie.
“He is always ready”, Guardiola said of Iheanacho, according to UK Telegraph.
