Already catching the eye of more than one Premier League club before the World Cup, Josko Gvardiol showed the world why so many were after him during the competition.
The defender was one of his nation’s stars in Qatar, and while he did get turned around by Lionel Messi, he wasn’t the first and probably won’t be the last.
Manchester City were one of the clubs after the Croatian, and while Chelsea and others have also taken a strong interest in the centre-back, it’s Pep Guardiola’s side who have the advantage.
The reason for that is because ‘Gvardiol and those close to him are convinced’ Manchester City are the ones able to ‘give him the game time and the international explosion’ waiting for him.
They even go as far as saying in their headline that the defender ‘has chosen’ a move to the Etihad above the others, giving Guardiola a huge boost in the race.
Still, the tough part remains, and that’s Manchester City needing to convince Leipzig of selling their star, for whom they seemingly want over €100m.
