Rumors are out that new Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is keen on removing goalkeeper Joe Hart from his current roster and replacing him with Barcelona’s Claudio Bravo before the summer transfer window closes at the end of the month.
Speaking of his relationship with Guardiola, Toure has previously alluded to bad blood between the two, saying in a radio interview: “Whenever I asked him something, he always gave unusual answers”, Toure told ONA FM. I have a lot of respect of him, for his career and quality, but for the first days – against Sunderland – we were looking for a more intensive game.

Those who play in any of the Champions League qualifying rounds are eligible to play for another club in the group stage.
Hart, 29, has been at the Etihad Stadium for ten years now having signed from Shrewsbury Town back in the summer of 2006, and he’s racked up nearly 350 appearances for the club having become City’s undoubted first-choice goalkeeper since the start of the 2010/11 campaign.
Guardiola added: “Since I have been Manchester City manager and we have been together, Joe has been ideal”.
Gianluigi Buffon believes Joe Hart has the ability and the temperament to continue as one of the world’s best goalkeepers – whether at Manchester City or elsewhere in Europe. “He is a big professional”.
“But after that, we played really better from the back and we can start playing as the boss wants, but we need minutes – we need minutes together. That is how I would like to feel”. Bravo is still expected to stay with the side for the Spanish Super Cup second leg on Wednesday against Sevilla, then travel to England and sign his contract.

Guardiola said: “I saw enough games about Steaua”. “But I just tried to think and enjoy the opportunity and the most important thing is that we won as well”.
