In a major transfer move, Gvardiol has successfully joined the reigning Premier League and European champions from RB Leipzig.
The confirmation came from Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, who announced on Friday that Gvardiol was undergoing a medical with the club. Now, the transfer process has been completed, making him the second signing for City this summer.
Gvardiol's arrival at the Etihad Stadium marks an exciting addition to the team, joining fellow countryman Mateo Kovacic. As a defender, he strengthens Guardiola's options in the center-back position for the upcoming campaign. Alongside players like John Stones, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, and Aymeric Laporte, Gvardiol will play a crucial role in bolstering the team's defense.
The Croatian defender expressed his joy and ambition about playing in England and becoming a part of Manchester City. He stated that it is a true honor for him to join the club, especially after witnessing their exceptional performance in the previous season. Gvardiol praised City's outstanding quality, evident from their Treble-winning season, and he looks forward to contributing to their success along with his family's support.
As for Manchester City's upcoming schedule, they will face Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday. This will be followed by their Premier League opener against Burnley on Friday, August 11.
With the addition of Gvardiol and their strong squad, the Cityzens aim to continue their winning streak and maintain their status as one of the best teams in the world.
