Claudio Bravo pens farewell letter for Barcelona

New Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo pens a farewell letter to Barcelona fans after completing his switch from Camp Nou to the Etihad.

New Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has penned a farewell letter to Barcelona following his departure from the club.

The 33-year-old completed his switch to the Etihad Stadium earlier today for a reported fee of £15.4m, signing a four-year deal with the Premier League outfit.

In doing so, Bravo brought an end to a successful two-year stint at Camp Nou, during which time he won back-to-back La Liga titles.

"I wish to express in these lines what is going through my head now that the time has come to say goodbye to such a grand institution as FC Barcelona, whose colours I have been able to proudly defend for two seasons," the Chilean wrote in an Instagram post.

"The way I have been treated by the coaching staff at FC Barcelona, for the moments I have experienced with such great players, for the love of all the club staff and, of course, for the support and affection that the fans have shown to me at all times ... I can say that you have made me feel at home and Barca will always have a place in my heart."

Barca also won the Copa del Rey twice and the Champions League once during Bravo's time at the club, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen was preferred in goal for the cup competitions.
