Josko Gvardiol, a new signing at Manchester City, initially struggled in adapting to the team and to playing left-back instead of his natural position as a centre-back. However, he has now settled into his role and is performing well, including scoring goals for the team. Gvardiol was born in Zagreb in 2002, making him 22 years old as of 2024. He stands at 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 80kg.
Gvardiol’s move to Manchester City cost the club £77.6 million, making him one of the most expensive defenders in football history. He currently earns £200,000 weekly at City and has achieved success with the team, winning trophies including the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. Gvardiol also has an active social media presence, with 1.3 million followers on Instagram and 31.7k followers on X.
Despite his success at Manchester City, Gvardiol has expressed his admiration for Liverpool, the club he supported growing up. He wore a protective mask during the 2022 World Cup after breaking his nose in a collision with a teammate, which helped him gain attention for his performance on the field. Gvardiol’s name is pronounced as ‘YOSHSH-koh var-dee-OHL’, according to experts.
