Speaking to Sky Germany, RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl has confirmed that there is no agreement between Manchester City and RB Leipzig over Joško Gvardiol.
When asked about the transfer situation, Eberl said: “There is no agreement with Manchester City. Not even close.” This comes after reports suggested that the two clubs have agreed on a deal for the 21-year-old and that the defender has also completed a medical. However, Gvardiol has already agreed on personal terms with City.
Leipzig are holding out for move than €100m for Gvardiol, which would be a world record fee for a defender and Manchester City have yet to come close to such a fee as they have previously had an offer of €90m rejected by Leipzig.
Leipzig are already preparing for a potential departure of Gvardiol as they have completed the signing of PSG youth defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu while the club have also set their sights on Lyon defender Castello Lukeba as well as Feyenoord Lutsharel Geertruida.
