2023-08-05 09:52:33

It’s a hell of a big blow that the European champions have just achieved. Manchester City have just announced the signing of If Guardiol. The Croatian defender, revelation of the last World Cup, leaves Leipzig and has just initialed a five-year contract in favor of the Citizens. Guardiol coming out of a full season with the German club. He played 41 matches and won the German Cup.

21 years old, Guardiol is considered one of the best central defenders on the planet. In City, he will find his compatriot matthew kovacic arrived this summer from Chelsea. The Croatian international reinforces the best defense in the Premier League (33 goals conceded) already composed of Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, John Stones or Nathan Ake.

The club of Kevin De Bruyne would have spent more than 100 million euros. Some sources even speak of a sum reaching 120 million euros. Either way, this is a new record amount for a defender, far ahead of the 87 million euros spent by Manchester United to attract Harry Maguire in 2019.
