If Aymeric Laporte decides to continue his career away from the Etihad, Manchester City will do everything possible to add to their squad RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.
The chances of Laporte leaving Pep Guardiola’s team are very high as the player wants a new challenge, and Gvardiol is the choice of the head coach for his replacement.

One of the obstacles is the money that the Bulls want for its centre-back in order to sell him. Leipzig will be without Christopher Nkunku, who joined Chelsea, and Konrad Laimer, who will continue his career in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich for the upcoming campaign. If possible, the Red Bull-owned club will be happy to have Josko for at least one more 1 year.
The price that will convince the German club to sell right now is 100 million euro because the defender deal is until 2027.
