Manchester City will have to pay at least £75million if they are to sign RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol this summer, according to reports.
City are interested in adding a centre-back, with the future of Aymeric Laporte uncertain. The Blues man is said to be frustrated at a lack of game-time, particularly in this season's biggest games, and could end a five-year spell at the club.
Croatian international Gvardiol has admirers at the Etihad - not least Pep Guardiola - after a brilliant campaign in Germany and at the World Cup part way through the season. The 21-year-old made 41 appearances for Leipzig, with one of his three goals coming against City in the Champions League last-16 tie in February.
