It could spell the end of Joe Hart’s time at the North East side with the English gloveman now potentially third-choice for manager Pep Guardiola.
In confirming the new, Barca technical secretary said the Spanish club are also on the hunt for a new keeper, with Ajax Amsterdam’s Jasper Cillessen expected to be signed.
"We are awaiting events this week. When Claudio leaves, we hope to have a new keeper,” he said.
Bravo did play for Barca in their 6-2 LaLiga win over Real Betis on Saturday.
It seems likely now that Hart will join fellow Premier League side Everton, potentially on loan for this season with the view to a permanent move.
Hart has made 347 appearances for City in all competitions over the past 10 years.
