The summer transfer market is in full swing and Manchester City will not be left behind in their bid to strengthen their squad.
Manchester City have the next target in the transfer market, which is talented midfielder Josko Gvardiol. Despite having just won the Champions League, the army led by Pep Guardiola still seeks to continue to strengthen the squad to maintain glory in Europe next season. And one of the positions in need of reinforcement is the defense – where the young Croatian midfielder has become one of the pieces most coveted by The Citizens.
At just 21 years old, Gvardiol stands out with his ideal height of 1m85 and the ability to pass the ball accurately, he perfectly fits the style of Manchester City. If the English team wants to get the services of this talented defender, they must be ready to pay close to 100 million euros – according to some British media reports.
It should be noted that Gvardiol has a contract with Leipzig until the summer of 2027, which puts the German team in a strong position to negotiate a transfer. In the last season, the young Croatian has played a total of 41 matches in all competitions, showing his quality and potential on the pitch. In addition, the defender’s top performance at the 2022 World Cup has also received the attention of the fans.
Manchester City’s interest in Gvardiol is a clear indication of the club’s ambitions to remain at the top of European football. With a solid defense led by Ruben Dias, the addition of a promising Croatian central defender could strengthen Man City’s steel.
Gvardiol’s future may be in England if the Etihad team is willing to meet Leipzig’s high financial requirements. Only time will tell whether this promising signing will materialize and whether the young Croatian defender will become a key part of Manchester City’s team next season.
