مانشستر سيتي مهتم بالتعاقد مع مدافع لايبزيج جوسكو جفارديول

Manchester City is interested in signing RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, a target for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

A report by Football Insider suggests Pep Guardiola is a particular admirer of Josko Gvardiol, who is also a target for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

The Manchester City boss is keen for the Croatian international, 21, to join the Premier League club.

Gvardiol has established himself as one of the best young defenders in the world, starring for club and country in the past year.

He was hugely impressive during the 2022 World Cup and helped his country reach the semi-finals of the tournament.

The 21-year-old is also said to be a target for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

He has a contract with RB Leipzig until the summer of 2027 and is unlikely to come cheap this summer.

It appears the defender has a release clause of £97m in his contract, which will come into effect in the summer of 2024.

Manchester City could be looking to sign him up for a more reasonable price at the end of this season, so it will be interesting to see how this situation develops.

The 21-year-old has certainly proved his quality in the Bundesliga and will be hoping to test himself at a higher level.
