Big slowdown in the Josko Gvardiol file! For several months, Manchester City has made the Croatian international its priority as a central defender. As such, discussions have accelerated and an agreement has even been mentioned between RB Leipzig and the reigning English champion for a transfer estimated at more than €100m. However, the Bundesliga resident has just taken a big chill in the file this Friday. Through its sporting director, Max Eberl, the German club wanted to clarify the situation of the 21-year-old player.
“There is no agreement with Manchester City for Josko Gvardiol. Not even close. Anyway, a lot has been written lately and the latest information about Josko still surprised us all a lot. But as you can see: Josko is there – so it does not correspond to the truth. He hasn’t had a medical – that’s not what we know. And I don’t think he did it behind our backs, because he’s just a professional in his own right.”affirmed the German leader, remarks transcribed by Sky Germany. Manchester City will have to raise the bar if they absolutely want to enlist him this summer.
