Manchester City, the reigning English Premier League champions, are already making moves in the summer transfer window as they set their sights on strengthening their defensive line. With the departure of veteran defender Vincent Kompany last year and the uncertainties surrounding the future of some key defensive players, City’s hierarchy has identified RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol as their preferred option.
Gvardiol, a highly talented center-back, has been making waves in the footballing world with his impressive performances for both club and country. The Croatian youngster’s composed defending, excellent positioning, and ability to read the game have caught the attention of many top clubs across Europe, including Manchester City.
The talks between Manchester City and RB Leipzig are reportedly underway, as both clubs negotiate a potential deal for Gvardiol’s transfer. City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, is known for his preference for ball-playing defenders who can contribute to the team’s attacking build-up, and Gvardiol fits the profile perfectly.
While Manchester City already possesses a formidable defensive lineup with the likes of Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Aymeric Laporte.
