Man City in advanced talks to sign Gvardiol

Manchester City are in advanced talks with RB Leipzig to sign centre-back Josko Gvardiol.

Sky Sports News understands the champions are yet to make a formal bid, however.

RB managing director of sport Max Eberl has confirmed the clubs are in talks.

He also told local media Leipziger-Volkszeitung: "Josko and his advisers have given us their wish to move to Manchester City."

Gvardiol is a left-footed Croatia international centre-back coveted by a number of top clubs.

Chelsea and Tottenham both wanted to sign him last year.
