Manchester City are delighted to confirm the signing of Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig on a five-year deal.
 

MEN'S TEAM

Gvardiol thrilled to join City after ‘perfect season’ 

The 21-year-old becomes the second signing of the summer transfer window ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, following in the footsteps of fellow Croatian international Mateo Kovacic.

Like Kovacic, Gvardiol began his senior 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, one Croatian Cup and a Croatian Super Cup before moving to RB Leipzig in Germany.

Gvardiol made 87 appearances for the Red Bulls across the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns, scoring five goals and winning two DFB-Pokal trophies.

He has won 21 caps for Croatia, excelling in their third-place finish in the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.

  • The title was changed to Josko Gvardiol - Man City Complete Signing

Gvardiol finally joins Man City and with his £78 million transfer to City from RB Leipzig, he becomes the world's 2nd most expensive defender ever, after Harry Maguire. Man City get themselves a very accomplished and experienced defender, who has competed regularly at the highest level, while RB Leipzig get themselves an incredible amount of money, to reinvest in new young highly rated prospects. I think both sides will be happy with this deal and City have themselves a world class defender, who they hope will adapt relatively quickly to the demands of the Premier League.
