Premier League title winner, 41, set to be unemployed after release from Spanish giants – but still won’t retire
CLAUDIO BRAVO is set to leave Real Betis as a free agent in the summer at the age of 41.
However, Bravo doesn’t appear prepared to retire any time soon despite his advanced age.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the goalkeeper will be released on June 30 when his contract runs out at Betis.
The ex-Manchester City ace is now ready for a “new chapter” and isn’t planning to return to his native Chile.
The ex-Chile international’s career kicked off in 2002 with Colo-Colo where he rose through the ranks as a youth star.
Bravo spent four years at the esteemed club before getting his big break at Real Sociedad.
The keeper made a name for himself in Spain with a whopping 237 appearances at Sociedad.
That led to a big move at Barcelona in 2014 after a stunning display in that summer’s World Cup where Chile made it to the Last 16.
Bravo amassed 43 clean sheets in 75 appearances during his two-year stint at Barca.
Then Pep Guardiola came calling and brought the shot-stopper to City in 2016.

The Chilean spent four years with the Citizens but only played 61 times for the Premier League giants due to a raft of injuries.
However, he still won the 2018 Premier League title as well as two FA Cup trophies.
Bravo left Guardiola’s side in 2020 and spent the last four years with Betis where he thrived despite his advanced age.
He is set to leave the Seville outfit with a total of 74 appearances under his belt.
