England no.1’s City career is over
Joe Hart WILL be leaving Manchester City this summer, according to Sky Sports.
Hart was dropped from Pep Guardiola’s side on Saturday for City’s Premier League season opener at home to Sunderland, leading many to doubt his future at the club.
City are thought to have all but agreed a deal to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and Sky Sports reporter Vinny O’Connor says Hart’s days in Manchester look to be numbered.
“There is reported interest from Sevilla in Spain but I think the preferred option would be to remain in the Premier League, and to that end, Everton could possibly be an option.
“Certainly, Everton are looking to bolster their goalkeeping ranks further following the acquisition of Martin Stekelenburg, who made a decent debut against Spurs at the weekend, but Everton are looking for an established number one and [would be] interested in someone of the calibre of Joe Hart.
“But to add to that it is my understanding that there has been no formal contact between the two parties in that respect. It’s a little more than two years since he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2019 but it seems his time at City is coming to a premature end.”
Hart has spent more than a decade at City after joining the club from hometown side Shrewsbury in 2006. The 29-year-old has made 347 appearances for City, conceding 347 goals.
