    It’s official: Joko Gvardiol will be joining Manchester City from RB Leipzig.

    Gvardiol completed the first phase of his medical test today while he was with Man City in a β€œsecret” location. The cost for the Croatian centre-back to join Manchester City has just been agreed upon by the two teams. After Mateo Kovacic, Gvardiol will be Manchester City’s second summer signing; the deal was completed today.

    Personal terms were agreed upon in June because Joko only wanted to sign a long-term contract to join Man City as his future club.

    Leipzig is said to be holding out for a bid of at least €100 million, which would make Gvardiol the most expensive defender in history but the fee agreed was not disclosed.

    With Aymeric Laporte set to leave and City still trying to persuade Kyle Walker to stay, Gvardiol is seen as the ideal signing.

    Gvardiol’s contract with Leipzig includes a Β£97 million release clause that becomes active in 2024, but City want to sign him now.

    Guardiola has always admired the young centre-back, notably his ability to win duels and play on the ball.

    The City manager prefers to sign Gvardiol over a full-back because he intends to deploy a four-centre-back formation again next season.
