"Manchester City" officially confirmed that longtime club goalkeeper Joe Hart will spend the season on loan at "Torino" team.
29-year-old goalkeeper had to look for a place in another team after the arrival of Claudio Bravo to the squad. Pep Guardiola did not trust the Englishman from the very beginning and he had to settle for a backup role at the start of the season. Willy Caballero was the main goalkeeper for the "Citizens".
J. Hart's transfer to "Torino" was clear yesterday when he arrived in Italy and was introduced to the fans.
Upon arriving at "Torino", J. Hart said: "Unexpected changes happened in my career, but I consider it a sign of fate. The opportunity to play for "Torino" came at the right time. I am happy to have the chance to play in such a strong league as the "Serie A".
"Man City" acquired J. Hart back in 2006. In the 2006-07 season, the goalkeeper was loaned to two lower division clubs, and also played on loan basis for "Birmingham City" team in 2009.
England's national team goalkeeper played a total of 348 matches in the ranks of the "Citizens", won the Premier League title twice, and was named the best goalkeeper of the English Championship four times.
