Gvardiol grabbed the equalizer once morest City 1-1 with a header, and reduced the danger of the giant Norwegian striker Erling Haaland on an evening in which the latter did not succeed in scoring.
And Gvardiol, in his second year with Leipzig from Dinamo Zagreb, became a target for many European clubs due to the impressive level he showed, whether with his team or in the shirt of his country’s national team at the World Cup in Qatar last year.
German media had quoted Gvardiol as saying, “Maybe I will leave following Christopher (Nkunku),” referring to reports that the French striker had reached an agreement with Chelsea.
Rose has put an end to speculation regarding the future of the centre-back who is likely to leave for the Premier League, saying “the headlines don’t seem to bother him”.
He added, “He is a player in Leipzig, and I think he will stay in Leipzig.”
And he added, “While talking regarding Christopher, he smiled, but certainly, in the newspapers, you cannot see the smile.”
He concluded, “He said he loves the place here and feels comfortable. As a coach, you want to work with the best players.”
