Joe Hart Provides Huge Transfer Update Ahead of Premier League Return
Jun 12, 2017 at 12:56 PM
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has admitted that he has not received any offers so far to make a move to another club next season.
The English No.1 had fallen down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola and was loaned out to Italian side Torino last summer.
He had a successful stint with the club and will be returning back to Manchester City next month. But the Citizens have already made the signing of Ederson from Benfica for a record fee of £34.7million and they already have Claudio Bravo in their ranks.
The return back to City will not guarantee any playing time for Hart and it would tough for him to even make the final squad for the games.
The move remains imminent but the 30-year old has revealed that he has not got offers to consider.
‘I need an offer first, then I can work out my options,’ the 30-year-old admitted.
‘I’ve got nothing at the moment. My situation now is interesting and patience is going to be the key.’
He continued: ‘I’m lucky I’ve got this great distraction of being involved with my country — and then we will see.
‘I’d love to be withholding information about my future but I don’t have information to withhold.
‘I have not spoken to City. They have obviously signed a new keeper and I get the direction where they are going.
‘I’m not a kid any more. I can’t just pack my stuff like a 17-year-old and go on loan — I like stability.’
The English goalkeeper who was involved in international Drury over the past weeks insisted that he wants to play football.
‘I don’t think City are going to price me out of a move,’ he said. ‘There is no animosity between the two parties.
‘I just want to play football. That’s what I live and breathe — and I want to play at the highest possible level.
‘I’m not a robot but there is nothing to get down about.
‘I’ve never shied away from a challenge and I don’t intend to now.’
The likes of Liverpool, West Ham, Everton are all credited with interest for Joe Hart but it remains to be seen where he will end up going at the end of the transfer window.
Hart is determined to compete in the Premier League as it will enhance his chances of making it to the 2018 World Cup. A stay at Etihad remains highly unlikely as his World Cup aspirations could be hit seriously.
He has amassed an impressive 3420 minutes of football last season at Torino having featured for the club in 38 games across all competitions.
