Manchester – Manchester City are close to securing the signing of RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol from Croatia.
Previously, RB Leipzig don't want to let go of the player at an unworthy price. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, RB Leipzig wants to make Gvardiol the most expensive defender in football history.
"Pep Guardiola really likes Gvardiol's quality. Talks are ongoing between the two clubs," Romano wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday.
Romano said that RB Leipzig wants to keep Gvardiol this summer and will not let him go below the transfer value 100 million euros (around IDR 1.6 trillion).

Recently, Gvardiol has been linked with top European clubs in recent months, due to his performance at the 2022 World Cup late last year.
He was an important player as the Croatian national team finished third in the four-year competition.
Before Manchester City, Real Madrid were also rumored to be interested in the 21-year-old. However, rumors of Real Madrid's interest began to diminish and now Manchester City is the strongest candidate to get his signature.
This season, Gvardiol made a total of 41 appearances in all competitions for Leipzig by scoring three goals. He managed to help Die Roten Bullen finish third in the final standings of the 2022-2023 German League.
