England and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is set for a transfer away from the Eithad this summer but it appears that it will have to be a permanent move.
According to the Daily Mail, it’s understood Man City want a permanent fee of around £18m and will resist loan offers made for the 30-year-old.
Hart spent last season on loan at Italian outfit Torino mainly due to Pep Guardiola preferring new ‘keeper Claudio Bravo. And now this summer, having brought in another new goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes for £34.7m, it certainly looks like Hart has no future at City.
It’s understood that the current England number one is interested in talking to Newcastle. If the magpies were to sign Hart they would have to fork out £120,000 in wages as well as the high transfer fee.
Newcastle are aiming to secure Premier League survival in their first season back in the big time and a shot-stopper in the name of Joe hart would be a statement signing and certainly increase their chances of staying in the league.
Hart, with two years left on his contract at City, will hope to secure his future early and give himself the best chance of staying as England’s first choice for the 2018 World Cup.
