 Manchester City are set to sign Joško Gvardiol from RB Leipzig — it’s now done deal

Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig, with the Croatian international set to become the club's second summer signing.

The 21-year-old defender has been one of the most sought-after young players in Europe this summer, and City have beaten off competition from a number of other clubs to secure his signature.

Gvardiol is a versatile defender who can play at centre-back or left-back, and he is seen as a long-term replacement for Aymeric Laporte. He is also capable of playing in a back three, which is something that Pep Guardiola is keen to explore.

The deal is reportedly worth around £60 million, and Gvardiol is expected to complete his medical in the coming days. He will then join up with his new teammates for pre-season training.

Gvardiol's arrival is a boost for City’s defense, and he is sure to be a key player for the club for many years to come. He is a talented defender with a bright future, and he will add even more quality to Guardiola's squad.

Here are some of his specific stats from the 2022-2023 season:

• Appearances: 34

• Goals: 1

• Assists: 0

• Pass completion rate: 90.9%

• Tackles: 13

• Aerial duels won: 89

• Progressive carries: 78
