Manchester United free to sign £30million Joe Hart as Pep Guardiola vows not to block move
Man City boss will let keeper move to Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho eyes David De Gea replacement
PEP GUARDIOLA will let Joe Hart join Manchester United as David De Gea’s £30MILLION replacement.
Reports in Spain claim De Gea, 26, has already agreed personal terms with Real Madrid.
The La Liga giants are poised to bid £63m — a world record for a keeper — leaving Jose Mourinho looking for a new No 1.
Hart had ten years at Manchester City but is on a season-long loan at Torino after boss Guardiola dumped him for Claudio Bravo.
The England star - currently on loan at Torino - has said he would “relish” the chance to move to Old Trafford.
And his parent club will not stand in his way if Jose Mourinho goes in for him.
Everton, Chelsea and Liverpool are also interested but Hart has made it clear that he would like a return to Manchester.
He still has two years left on his £120,000 per week contract and, if City wanted to, they could refuse to sell him to their bitter rivals.
But Hart has been told that providing whoever wants him meets their asking price, he will be free to go and that includes to United.

De Gea was on the brink of moving to the Bernabeu almost two years ago before a last minute paper work glitch collapsed the deal.
Now with his home said to be up for sale De Gea, who joined United from Atletico Madrid for £17.8m in 2011, is poised to return to the Spanish capital.
Meanwhile Hart can start planning for a return to Manchester providing Mourinho stumps up the sizeable sum.
