One of the best defenders in the world, Croatia’s Josko Guardiol at Premier League champions Manchester City.
The 21-year-old centre-back joins City from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
The contract is worth around 820 crores. The achievement of being the most expensive defensive player in the history of football will now be in the name of Guardiola. The star is nicknamed ‘Little Pep’ due to his similarity to City coach Pep Guardiola’s name.
The star is coming to City on a five-year contract. The player gave a great performance for Croatia in Qatar World Cup. Having won the trouble, City will come with a strong team this season as well. Earlier, another Croatian player Kovacic was also brought to the team.
The player played a major role in helping Leipzig win the German Cup in two consecutive seasons. He also played in the Champions League. The player will arrive in Leipzig from Croatian professional club Dinamo Zagreb in July 2021.
Guardiola responded that he had always dreamed of playing in England one day and was delighted to be with Manchester City.
“Anyone who watched Manchester City last season knows they are the best team in the world. Joining City is a matter of happiness for me and my family,” said the actor. Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk are other expensive defenders.
