After a difficult summer with England and having been dropped for the Premier League clash with Sunderland, the odds have been cut on Joe Hart leaving the Etihad Stadium
A poor Euro 2016 campaign with England simply fuelled speculation that Guardiola could move to replace the 29-year-old, who has been City's first choice goalkeeper since 2010. Questions remain over Hart’s ability with the ball at his feet, a key part of the new manager's ethos.
Willy Caballero started in the 2-1 win over Sunderland on the opening day of the new Premier League season and reports suggest that Claudio Bravo could be set to swap Camp Nou for the Etihad Stadium, a move that would surely end Hart's prospects of reclaiming his starting place.
While it looks bleak for the England international, SkyBet are 4/6 (1.67) that he remains at Manchester City beyond the summer transfer window, with any move away being delayed until the winter.
In terms of the list of potential suitors, Everton have been linked with a move for Hart, with the Merseyside club keen to bolster their squad after new majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri arrived at Goodison Park. Ronald Koeman is 5/4 (2.25) to add Hart to a growing number of arrivals. The two clubs have already completed one transfer which saw John Stones make the switch to the Etihad for £47.5m.
Liverpool are 10/1 (11.0) to offer Hart a route out of Manchester, although with Loris Karius and Alex Manninger arriving this summer plus a bumper new contract for first choice pick Simon Mingolet, it seems unlikely that Jurgen Klopp would add another goalkeeper to his ranks.
Other clubs listed in SkyBet's market include Real Madrid (22/1) and Paris Saint-Germain (28/1) while West Ham are 33/1 (34.0) alongside a Stoke side who will be without Jack Butland for a few weeks due to another ankle injury although the 23-year-old played down the seriousness of the set back.
