Liverpool and Chelsea on alert for stopper
Pep Guardiola has put Liverpool and Chelsea on alert by admitting there is no way back for Joe Hart at Manchester City.
Guardiola banished Hart to Italian club Torino on loan last summer after taking charge at Manchester City.
Hart’s replacement £17million Claudio Bravo from Barcelona has struggled this season giving back-up Willy Cabellero a few chances.
But the England No 1’s future at Manchester City looks to be over after Guardiola ruled out a return.
When asked if there was any chance Hart could make a surprise comeback at the Etihad, Guardiola shook his head and said: “I’m so happy with Willy and Claudio.
“We are going to talk about it at the end of the season.”
Hart has made 25 appearances for Torino this season, with Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side sitting ninth in Serie A.
And the Mirror say Guardiola’s comments have put rivals Chelsea and Liverpool on alert to sign the 29-year-old.
Thibaut Courtois is Chelsea’s undisputed No 1 but rumours persist suggesting he could be lured back to Spain with Real Madrid.
Hart is valued at around £20m with City reportedly willing to sell him to a top-six rival.
