Manchester City Are Ready To Axe Claudio Bravo For Another Goalkeeper

It's been a tough old start for Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, but it's about to get even worse after news emerged about his future, or lack of it, at the Etihad.

Despite only arriving in Manchester five months ago, the club are ready to cash in on the 33-year-old as the club have become frustrated at his progress.

According to journalist Duncan Castles, Pep Guardiola is ready to replace the former Barcelona shot stopper by signing Benfica youngster Ederson.

Benfica want £30 million for the 23-year-old and Manchester City are willing to the pay the fee.

Ederson has impressed manager Rui Vitória at the Estádio da Luz in recent months and has kept 11 clean sheets in his 19 Liga and Champions League appearances for the club.

The youngster even received a provisional call-up to the Brazil squad for the Copa America, but was cut from the final squad due to injury.

And now Manchester City are reportedly looking to replace Bravo at the Etihad. Is this the right decision or does Guardiola need to give him more time to settle?

Let us know.
