Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol wants to join Manchester City, according to the sporting director of the centre-back's current club RB Leipzig.
The 21-year-old enjoyed a second impressive season in Leipzig, helping the team secure a third place finish in the Bundesliga after Marco Rose took over from Domenico Tedesco in the dugout. He also scored against City in the Champions League, with Leipzig drawing 1-1 at home before suffering a 7-0 loss at the Etihad Stadium.
Gvardiol would set City back £86m, topping the sums paid by Premier League clubs for Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk. One obstacle appears to have been cleared, though, if comments from Leipzig chief Max Eberl are to be believed.
