Everton manager Ronald Koeman says that reports linking the club with Manchester City’s Joe Hart are false and that he has no intention of pursuing the player.

Hart admitted earlier in the week that there is a “situation” to resolve, and the Citizens are prepared to do that by offering other clubs the chance to contribute just £30,000-a-week to his salary.
Highly-regarded youngster Angus Gunn remains with the club, also, meaning that should Hart stay in Manchester, Guardiola will rotate his three reserve goalkeepers in the competition to be considered reserve to Bravo.
Speaking about the 29-year-old, Begiristain claimed: “We will try to find a good solution for everybody”.
“I can not deny this was special for me”, said Guardiola.
Guardiola has said he can move if he wishes but Everton, the club most strongly linked with him, have said they have no interest.
The late reshuffle at City means that the England number one has little time to find himself a new club in a bid to save his season.
The England shot-stopper made his first competitive start under Guardiola on Wednesday night, in a 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in Romania.
Bravo is Chile’s most capped player on 106 global appearances and was voted goalkeeper of the tournament after captaining his country to Copa America glory earlier this year.
“We all know there is a situation going on but I feel that outside of all the circus, we are handling it well as a good team with a good management staff, and I enjoyed tonight”.
“No, there is no interest in Joe Hart”.
Bravo’s arrival has intensified speculation over the future of Hart, whose demotion at City has been swift.
“If all four stay here, the best solution is for everybody to be involved in our idea”.
Barcelona said Cillessen flew to Spain yesterday morning to undergo a medical and would be officially unveiled today. So (if) Joe, Willy and Angus stay, then it won’t be the same one who is always on the bench. The club will help him find the best option.

“I can not deny it’s something special for me to return to Barcelona – I grew up there, to play there at 13 to become a footballer”. I really appreciate the people at Manchester City and it turns out they appreciate me.
