All of a sudden, the possibility that a key player could leave Manchester City exists Despite having his 2025-26 season wrecked by a right tibial fracture, Josko Gvardiol is a key player for Manchester City, both now and in the future. The elegant defender has thrived as a member of Pep Guardiola’s squad since he signed for the club from RB Leipzig. Given that Josko Gvardiol is so important to City it was no surprise to learn that City were working on extending Josko Gvardiol’s contract with the club.
Nicolò Schira has previously reported that Gvardiol was edging closer to signing a contract extension. Now a spanner in the works may have appeared. A new report indicates that Bayern Munich could move for Gvardiol this summer.
It now remains to be seen what Josko Gvardiol decides to do this summer. A new report suggests that Josko Gvardiol is open to a move to Bayern Munich. German publication Sport1 has reported on Bayern Munich’s interest in signing Josko Gvardiol from Manchester City this summer.
Firstly, Sport1 reports that Gvardiol can see himself one day playing for Bayern Munich. Furthermore, it is also reported that the Croatian international is trying to force a departure from City this summer. The issue, as reported by Sport1, that may hinder any Bayern Munich move for Josko Gvardiol is his transfer fee.
It is reported that Manchester City would demand at least €90 million to part ways with Gvardiol. Bayern believes they could sign Gvardiol from City for €75 million if they were to try and negotiate a deal for the elegant defender. Lastly, it is reported that it is unknown if Bayern would pursue such an expensive move this summer.
