Josko Gvardiol is officially a new defender of the Manchester City. The player comes permanently from Leipzig. Below is the English Club’s press release.
PRESS RELEASE – Manchester City are delighted to confirm the signing of RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol on a five-year deal. The 21-year-old is the second signing in the summer transfer window ahead of the 2023/24 season, following in the footsteps of fellow Croatian Mateo Kovacic. Like Kovacic, Gvardiol began his professional career at Dinamo Zagreb, a breeding ground for some of the most talented Croatian players ever produced. During two seasons in his homeland, he won two Croatian league titles, a Croatian Cup and a Croatian Super Cup before joining RB Leipzig in Germany. Gvardiol made 87 appearances for the Red Bulls in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons, scoring five goals and winning two DFB Pokals. He won 21 caps for Croatia and finished third at the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar.
