Pep Guardiola is searching for a replacement for Claudio Bravo just six months into the Chilean goalkeeper's career at Manchester City, according to reports.

Bravo signed for City from Barcelona in the summer, as Guardiola believed Joe Hart was incapable of playing in his style, and loaned him out to Torino.

But Bravo has come under increasing pressure as he continues to make mistakes and, according to The Sun, Guardiola will look for a new number one to sign this summer.

Manchester City has slipped to fifth in the Premier League table, having gone on a 10-game winning run at the start of the season.

Guardiola believes the league title is out of his team's reach this season.
