Man City boss Guardiola: Gvardiol on his way; Bernardo and Walker...?

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed Josko Gvardiol is on his way.

RB Leipzig have accepted a €90m offer from City for the Croatia defender.

"He is here," said Guardiola. "He is doing medical tests and hopefully we can finish the deal in the next hours."

Meanwhile, Guardiola also commented on the futures of Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker.

"We will do everything to keep them," he said. "It is not like [Ilkay] Gundogan as they have contracts.

"We want them to stay because they want to stay. Losing Kyle and Bernardo would be so difficult.

"I want to work with guys who want to stay. [If they don't], we have to get a proper offer [for them].

"If we don't get a proper offer, he's [Silva] our player and we want him. If they [Barcelona] want him, they will take a plane and come here and talk to our sporting director and CEO to make an agreement.

"For us to buy a player, just because we are Man City it is £10-15m more expensive than other clubs all the time. If people want our really really important players, first they have to make an offer - and that hasn't happened.

"When it happens, we will fight to extend the contract and [have them] be with us. That has happened with all of our players since day one."
