It has been assured that Josko Gvardiol remains likely to sign for Manchester City, despite a transfer yet to come to fruition.
This comes from Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, after it was claimed on Monday that the youngster himself was keen on talks between both City and RB Leipzig concluding before the season begins.
It seems Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City and their fans could finally be rewarded for their patience with a move looking set to inevitably go through.

Interestingly, even Mateo Kovacic openly addressed the prospect of his fellow Croatian joining the Sky Blues.
Last Wednesday, it was reported that Pep Guardiola himself was ‘angry’ that a deal had still not been completed, as seems to be the mood within the fanbase as the chase for the 21-year-old’s signature has been one that goes back to a number of months.
However, Fabrizio Romano replied to a commenter online assuring that Josko Gvardiol is likely to don a Manchester City shirt next season.
“Don’t worry with Gvardiol, my friend”, he said.
Josko Gvardiol could be one of the signings of the decade
Josko Gvardiol could prove to be a signing that could benefit Manchester City both in the present and in the future.
With Pep Guardiola looking set to stick with playing four centre-backs in defence next season as well, the RB Leipzig defender is tailor-made for such a setup.
After all, Gvardiol has a wealth of experience in terms of playing in a back three and even as a left-back.
While in the long-term, the highly-rated talent truly has enough potential to lead City’s backline for the next decade and become the outright best centre-back in the world.
Josko Gvardiol is a generational talent and one that could define an era wherever he goes, especially if it is at one of the greatest teams of all time.
