Manchester City pushing to finalise Josko Gvardiol agreement
Manchester City are pushing hard to finalise a deal for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, sources have told 90min . The 21-year-old has emerged as one of City's primary transfer targets this summer, and talks have been ongoing with Leipzig over a deal that would make the Croatian the most expensive defender of all time. Personal terms are all but agreed with Gvardiol, who has made it clear to Leipzig that he wants to join the champions of Europe. Leipzig have publicly stated that City will need to fork out close to €100m (£86m) plus add-ons in order to land Gvardiol, and last season's treble winners recognise that they will need to make him the most expensive defender ever, eclipsing the £80m fee neighbourhood rivals Manchester United paid Leicester for Harry Maguire in 2019. If and when the deal is finalise d, Gvardiol will become City's second most expensive acquisition - Jack Grealish's £100m move from Aston Villa being the current club record. READ MORE FROM TH
