Barcelona boss Luis Enrique was coy when reporters quizzed about him the Chilean’s future on Tuesday morning.
But, according to Catalan newspaper Sport, the 33-year-old is set to fly to England on Thursday to complete a move to the Etihad.
Barcelona had wanted to keep hold of Bravo, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s desire to be the club’s No.1 goalkeeper has forced them to reconsider.
