Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has reportedly been given permission to miss Barcelona's training session on Sunday as he looks to seal a move to Manchester City.

Blaugrana technical secretary Robert Fernandez admitted on Saturday that the club had "the beginning of an agreement in principle" for the Premier League side to sign the Chilean shot-stopper.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Bravo has been given time off from training with his current club and is expected to finalise his move to the Etihad Stadium in the coming days.

The 33-year-old's signing could spell the end of Joe Hart's Man City career, the Englishman having been kept on the bench for all three of his side's matches this season.
