It means England No 1 Hart is now effectively City’s third choice keeper as his 10-year career at the club looks like ending on a huge low.

He said: “If all four stay here the best solution is for everybody to be involved in our idea”.
Guardiola has made no secret of the fact he does not intend to include the England global in his first team plans – a revelation that has caused a great deal of unrest among City fans.
Hart would consider a move overseas and is waiting to see if Torino’s initial interest is backed up by a more concrete offer in the next 48 hours. The other ones, maybe they will stay, maybe they are going.
“We’ve got a top manager that the club’s wanted for a long, long time and he’s going to have his opinion on things”.
Mirror Sport has learned City are willing to pay up to £90,000 of Hart’s weekly wage, if a club can be found to take the 29-year-old outcast on loan. We’re going to decide the best for Joe, but for Willy Caballero and Angus Gunn as well.
Guardiola added that the club would look to find a solution with Hart, despite potential suitors Everton and Sevilla reportedly cooling their interest. So for Joe, Willy and Angus, it won’t be the same one who is always on the bench.
“They’re going to be in rotation, part of that”.
Reflecting on his first impressions of England, Guardiola said: “Congratulations to the Premier League because it is well organised with traditional stadiums”.
“I grew up in Catalonia, I was 13 years old when I went to their academy, promoted to a professional player and trainer”.
Claudio Bravo’s debut for Manchester City is set to come in the most high-profile match of the English Premier League season: The Manchester derby. I know the people there, most of the players are still there.
Finishing 12th last season and opening this season with a 3-2 defeat to AC Milan, they are not one of the most glamorous sides in Italy, but would offer Hart an intriguing proposition.

Hart played for City in Wednesday’s Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest and seemed to bid the fans an emotional farewell at the final whistle. There isn’t a better team to check our current level as a team. We need some time.
