Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have made an improved offer for RB Leipzig centre-back Joško Gvardiol.
City have been linked with Gvardiol throughout the summer and saw a bid worth £77m ($99m) rejected earlier this summer.
Sport Bild reports now that Manchester City have made an improved offer for RB Leipzig centre-back Joško Gvardiol.
The offer is said to be worth €90m plus €10m in add-ons which Leipzig have yet to accept the offer as they want more realistic goals for the add-ons. However, it is increasingly likely that the deal will be completed and both clubs will ultimately come to an agreement.
While there is said to be an expectation that Gvardiol will move to City this summer, Leipzig have yet to accept the offer, as they want more realistic goals to be included in the £9m add-ons.
When he to make the move, he would become the most expensive defender in the world, outstripping Harry Maguire, who moved to Manchester United from Leicester City for a total of £80m in 2019 ($97m).
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
