Guardiola has been pushing all summer for a custodian comfortable with building play from the back using his feet, ousting Hart from City's starting XI this term.Willy Caballero has started all three of the club's competitive fixtures this season, with Bravo's impending arrival only likely to plunge the England No.1's future into further doubt.Barcelona have moved swiftly to secure Bravo's successor in the form of Cillessen, who is expected to serve as Marc-Andre ter Stegen's deputy at Camp Nou."We are awaiting events this week [regarding a replacement for Bravo]," Fernandez added. "When Claudio leaves, we hope to have a new keeper."</blockquote>
