Bielsa wants Claudio Bravo

Chilean newspaper El Mercurio claims that Lille are keen on signing Manchester City shot-stopper Claudio Bravo.

Pep Guardiola brought the 34-year-old to Etihad Stadium from Barcelona last summer, but the veteran keeper was largely disappointing in his maiden Premier League campaign and is now on the verge of leaving.

With Man City having splashed out €40 million on Ederson Moraes, Bravo is almost certain to leave this summer, and latest reports suggest Lille boss Marcelo Bielsa is eager to bring him to Stade Lille Metropole.

The Argentine coach recently took over the reigns as an integral part of club’s ambitious project and he has already started working on summer reinforcements.

Bielsa is well aware of Bravo’s qualities having worked with him in the Chile national team and he believes the keeper still has several good years ahead of him.
