Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has taken to social networking site Twitter to wish Claudio Bravo the best of luck at Manchester City.

Bravo has left Spanish giants Barcelona to join Premier League outfit City on a four-year contract.

According to Sky Sports, the Citizens had to pay Barca a transfer fee of £17.1 million in order to secure the services of the 33-year-old goalkeeper.

Bravo joined Barcelona from La Liga rivals Real Sociedad in the summer of 2014. The Chile international enjoyed two successful years at Camp Nou, winning La Liga twice and the Champions League once.

The former Colo-Colo star should be the first-choice goalkeeper at City this season. Bravo may be 33 years of age, but the Chilean is very much at his best and should prove to be a good signing for Pep Guardiola’s side.

City, who have won both of their Premier League matches so far this season, will face West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium in the league on Sunday evening.
