Barcelona Brazilian will play second fiddle to ter Stegen

Valencia could be set to lose another key man to Barcelona this transfer window, with goalkeeper Diego Alves the target Luis Enrique wants to replace outgoing goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Manchester City have chosen to replace England number one Joe Hart with the former Real Sociedad shot-stopper, with the former not deemed to be comfortable enough with his feet to thrive in new coach Pep Guardiola's possession-based system.

Bravo's exit has left the Blaugrana desperate for a high-quality substitute for the Chile international, with talks already very advanced to bring the Brazilian penalty-saving expert to Camp Nou.

Interaction between the two clubs has been constant this summer, after the signing of Andre Gomes and the resulting move of Martin Montoya to the Mestalla, while a deal for Paco Alcacer is still rumoured to be in the works given that Barcelona want another striking reinforcement.
