Fernandez: Bravo will be with Barca on Saturday

Barcelona's sporting director, Robert Fernandez, was unwilling to concede the sale of Claudio Bravo.

Barcelona sporting director, Robert Fernandez, did not rule out Claudio Bravo's sale but confirmed he will be available for the club's La Liga opener this weekend.

The Chilean goalkeeper is reportedly close to signing for Manchester City, but apparently only after Diego Alves joins at Camp Nou.

Complicating the matter is Barcelona's added interest in Paco Alcacer, with the Spanish champions wanting to send Munir El Haddadi and Sergi Samper to Valencia, but Fernandez made clear Bravo will play until any departure.
