Even after winning the unprecedented triple crown, the Manchester City is willing to open the coffers to further strengthen its cast. According to published this Sunday by the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, specialist in the transfer market, the name of the time is that of defender Josko Gvardiol, from RB Leipzig.
According to the professional, the English club and the player have already agreed on the personal terms of the contract. However, as it intends to keep the defender, the German team will not sell it for less than 100 million euros (about R$ 523 million).

With that, if it comes to fruition, the deal for Gvardiol would become the most expensive for a defender in the history of football, surpassing the Englishman Harry Maguire, who cost Manchester United approximately 87.1 million euros in 2019.
Still according to information from Fabrizio Romano, the signing of the 21-year-old Croatian athlete is positively evaluated by coach Pep Guardiola. The journalist claims that the clubs will continue talking for the defender next week.
This Manchester City transfer window finally seems to have a lot of work to do. The club, which should have fundamental casualties in the squad, such as Gundogan and Bernardo Silva, is already moving to bring in names that maintain or even raise the level of the team, such as defensive midfielder Declan Rice, from West Ham.
