The 29-year-old has been in good form at Italy, keeping five clean sheets for his new side this season. His performances in goal have reportedly alerted a number of sides in the Premier League who have expressed an interest in signing him in the summer.

Guardiola who took over the managerial reigns at City this season, though is happy with goalkeepers at the club, which has put Hart's future with the Citizens in doubt.
