Man City pushing deal for RB Leipzig defender Gvardiol

Manchester City have decided on the centre half they want to sign this summer.

The Citizens have reiterated that Josko Gvardiol remains the priority target, per the Manchester Evening News.

The Croatian 21-year-old is the man that manager Pep Guardiola believes can elevate his treble winning back line.

RB Leipzig want £85 million and add-ons for the powerful and tall defender, who shone at the World Cup.

Gvardiol would take up a big chunk of City's summer budget, but Guardiola is not planning wholesale changes to his squad.

Joao Cancelo, Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker are defenders who could depart this window.
