Claudio Bravo nears Barca switch

Real Sociedad goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is closing in on a summer move to Camp Nou, reports El Mundo Deportivo.

The Chile international has been chosen as the man to compete with fellow new signing Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the number one spot following the departure of Victor Valdes.

And the mere fact the Catalans are not even thinking about other targets is enough to suggest they are confident of reaching an agreement with La Real.

The two clubs have been in negotiations for several weeks and everything appears to be going according to plan.

Barcelona aim to pay between €8m and €10m for the 31-year-old while sending talented midfielder Jonathan dos Santos in the opposite direction.

And while the youngster was initially not too keen on a switch to Anoeta, El Mundo Deportivo reports that he has changed his mind, meaning there should be no obstacles to the deal being completed.

Claudio Bravo will represent Chile at the 2014 World Cup, with La Roja available at 5/6 to qualify from Group B.
