Claudio Bravo "is so happy" at Manchester City and does not want to leave the Premier League club, insists Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has firmly denied suggestions that Claudio Bravo is unsettled in Manchester and wants to leave the Premier League club next month.

Bravo joined Man City in a £15m deal from Barcelona in the summer, but has struggled to live up to expectations during his short time in the Premier League.

Over the last week, rumours have suggested that the Chilean international is already considering his future at the Etihad after struggling to settle in England.

Guardiola, however, has insisted that the 33-year-old "is so happy" in Manchester and firmly denied claims that the goalkeeper could depart the club in the January transfer window.

"I didn't read that. I spoke with Bravo in the last days, with his wife and their little daughter. He told me he is so happy," Guardiola told reporters.

Bravo's arrival in the summer saw Joe Hart join Italian side Torino on a season-long loan.
