Josko Gvardiol joins 'best team in the world' Manchester City after signing five-year deal

Manchester City completed the long-awaited signing of Josko Gvardiol on Saturday.

The talented 21-year-old joins the treble winners after committing to a five-year deal that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2028.

Widely considered one of the best young defenders in the world, Gvardiol joins City from RB Leipzig where he made 87 Bundesliga appearances across two seasons, winning back-to-back German Cups.

The Croatia international has also earned 21 caps and was an integral member of the team that finished third at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Gvardiol was understandably ecstatic after moving to the "best team in the world".

“I have always dreamt of one day playing in England and to be doing so now with Manchester City – after the season they have just had – is a real honour for me," he said in a statement.

Welcome, Josko!
