White smoke for Manchester City in the Joško Gvardiol file (21 years old). Seduced by the Croatian central defender for several months, Pep Guardiola will be able to build his defensive sector around him. In any case, the player absolutely wanted to join the winners of the last Champions League. “Gvardiol definitely wants to move to the Sky Blues. Josko and his advisors have told us of their wish to move to Manchester City.
“We are in talks with Manchester. There is nothing more to say at this time” had also declared Max Eberl, the sporting director of the Saxons. The latter had also set the tone in terms of the transfer price: “yes, for 100 million euros and bonuses, Gvardiol will end up under Pep Guardiola. The value of the deal would make Guardiol the most expensive defender in history. But it could take a few more days for the transfer to happen.” It seems to have paid off.
Agreement reached for Joško Gvardiol
According to information from the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, which we are able to confirm, an agreement has been reached between the two clubs for the transfer of the player. A few weeks ago we told you about an XXL offer of 120 million euros for Joško Gvardiol to complete the transfer and we exclusively announced to you the good performance of the negotiations between Manchester City and RB Leipzig yesterday.
From now on, we are reaching the goal and all that will be missing is the formalization of the transfer. As for the medical visit, the player started the medical tests today. He had also agreed with Manchester City for a month on his personal conditions. Croatian international (21 caps, 2 goals), Joško Gvardiol leaves Leipzig with a sense of duty accomplished. He won two German Cups and played 87 matches for 5 goals and 3 offerings.
