The Chilean captain has joined Manchester City from Barcelona to replace Hart in goal. He was signed for £15.4m on a four year contract.
Bravo said: “I’m very proud to be joining Manchester City. I know the Club is building something very special and I hope I can be part of many successes in the coming years.
“I have followed City’s progress in recent years and obviously know some of my new team-mates from the Copa America. It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse. Now I will challenge the other great goalkeepers the Club has and together I hope we can win many trophies.”
City boss Guardiola added: “Claudio is a fantastic goalkeeper and an excellent addition to our squad. He has experience and great leadership qualities and is in the prime of his life. He is a goalkeeper I have admired for a number of years and I’m really happy he is now a City player.”
He has played 75 times for Barcelona since joining them in 2014 and was named the best goalkeeper at the last two Copa Americas which he won as the captain of the team. He was also named in the 2014/2015 La Liga team of the season.
