Statement: "Manchester City" will acquire J. Gvardiol © IMAGO/motivio

“Manchester City” is very seriously strengthening their defensive line.

Fabrizio Romano reports on an agreement between “Manchester City” and “RB Leipzig” teams regarding the transfer of Josko Gvardiol.

The 21-year-old center-back successfully passed the first part of his medical examination, adds F. Romano.

However, the clubs have not yet announced the agreed sum. It is suspected that this could be a record amount for a defender.

In the ranks of “Manchester City,” J. Gvardiol will meet a familiar face from the Croatian national team - Mateo Kovacic, who is also a newcomer for the “citizens”.
