Pep Guardiola would have been hoping that Joe Hart would quickly be put out of mind once he was loaned out to Torino.
One of the Catalan’s first actions as Manchester City manager was axing the England international and replacing him with Barcelona’s back-up stopper Claudio Bravo.
The Chilean failed to make a single save in last weekend’s 4-0 defeat to Everton, and his own future is now under heavy scrutiny.
Yet, ESPN report that Hart himself has no hope of reigniting his career at the Etihad despite Bravo’s troubles.
It means the goalkeeper is still likely to have played his last game for City and is therefore expecting to move to a new club when his Serie A spell ends in the summer.
Guardiola has made his feelings about Hart perfectly clear. In fact, City did not even include a recall option in his loan deal, which suggests they are set against him ever returning, despite the 29-year-old having helped the club to two Premier League titles.
