Man City closing deal for RB Leipzig over defender Gvardiol

Manchester City are continuing talks with RB Leipzig over defender Josko Gvardiol.

The Croatian centre half is set to move to the Premier League and Champions League winners this summer.

The Citizens, per The Mail, will pay a fee in the region of £90 million to get their prime defensive target.

Gvardiol is likely coming into the City squad to take the place of Aymeric Laporte, who wants to leave.

Gvardiol was previously linked to Chelsea, but they were unable to get a deal done last summer.

Now City have come in, with manager Pep Guardiola finally close to getting his namesake to sign on the dotted line.
