While Manchester City paid 60 million for Haaland, the impressive amount they would pay for Gvardiol

What RB Leipzig are asking Manchester City for Erling Haaland

Gvardiol and Haaland

Josko Gvardiol is one of Manchester City’s targets for this season. The Croatian defender has established himself in an important way and now, he could receive not so encouraging news from his club. RB Leipzig do not intend to let him go so easily and their tough policy on the sale of their players will mean that Pep Guardiola’s team will have to invest a significant amount if they want to get his services.

Manchester City are on course to secure a deal for talented Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol, who impressed at the 2020 World Cup and has since become one of the most watched center-backs on the planet. However, the English club still has to convince RB Leipzig.Manchester City are on course to secure a deal for talented Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol, who impressed at the 2020 World Cup and has since become one of the most watched center-backs on the planet. However, the English club still has to convince RB Leipzig.

The signing of Gvardiol would further strengthen the defense of Manchester City, a team that has dominated the Premier League in recent years. With his ability to read the game and his defensive solidity, the young Croatian would fit perfectly into Guardiola’s style of play. However, the big limiting factor is the Croatian’s high price tag and what the German club is asking for his release.

How much is Leipzig asking for the player?

The German team wants a significant amount for the player. The club is already proposing an amount close to 100 million euros, according to BILD. A figure that would make him the most expensive defender in history, above Virgil Van Dijk and Harry Maguire. However, it is a real whim of Pep Guardiola for next season.
