As Claudio Bravo Joins Manchester City From Barcelona, We Take a Look Back

Barcelona officially say they have "the beginning of an agreement" on his departure

Claudio Bravo seems almost certain to join Manchester City. Barcelona's sporting director Robert Fernández told the press the team has "the beginning of an agreement" with the English club. Bravo could play one more game for Barcelona - away to Athletic Club de Bilbao on August 28. But that's it. The transfer window shuts on August 31st, and barring a total reversal of course, Bravo and Barcelona will be parting ways.

Who would have thought it when Barcelona signed the Chilean keeper from Real Sociedad in June 2014 that City would dump Joe Hart to sign him two years later?
