A claim has been made that Manchester City are definitely set to complete a transfer involving Josko Gvardiol in the summer.
This comes from journalist Dean Jones, who was speaking to GiveMeSport about City’s chances of landing the 21-year-old.
However, he assured that Manchester City have nothing to worry about when it comes to securing the services of Josko Gvardiol.
Journalist: Manchester City will definitely complete Josko Gvardiol transfer
It was reported on Sunday that Pep Guardiola’s men are set to hold a new round of talks with RB Leipzig over a potential move for the Croatian, after an initial £64.2 million offer plus add-ons was rejected.
Branded as a ‘generational talent’ by Football Fan Cast, it was also revealed that the German giants intend to sell the ex-Dinamo Zagreb defender for at least £85.7 million.
Despite the deal for Josko Gvardiol not looking like an easy one to pull off, Dean Jones has assured that Manchester City will eventually get their man.
“It will be a fantastic signing for them. It would change a lot to be honest, because it makes them even stronger in terms of the thinking of this team. It’s not just what he brings physically, it’s what he understands about the game and what he brings in terms of a winning mentality.”
Jones went on to slip in the fact that Manchester City will end up triumphing in their pursuit for Josko Gvardiol, saying, “People constantly talking about this with him in the Croatian set up about just his desire and his focus. And you have to have that now at the level Man City are playing at. So yeah, I definitely think that Gvardiol is a goer.”
Josko Gvardiol would be one hell of a signing
As long as Josko Gvardiol is donning a Manchester City shirt next season, there will be no moans and groans from their fanbase.
While the ideal scenario remains that the youngster joins the squad in pre-season, his arrival is the biggest priority.
Simply due to the fact that first things first, with Aymeric Laporte primed to leave City, he is the perfect profile of defender to replace him, due to his incredible reading of the game, passing range and ball-carrying ability.
Secondly and perhaps more pertinently, with how young Gvardiol is, he could lead the Sky Blues’ defence for the next decade.
