Manchester City’s £17m signing of Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo will be completed as soon as the club conclude a complex four-player deal with Valencia.
Bravo has already set about finding a new home in Manchester and schools for his four children and Barcelona have agreed a deal to take Brazilian keeper Diego Alves to the Camp Nou to replace him.
But Barca also want Valencia forward Paco Alcacer and with youngsters Sergi Samper and Munir El Haddadi set to move in the opposite direction on loan the complexity of the deal is delaying the completion of Bravo’s switch.
