Bayern Munich has been linked with Manchester City defender Joško Gvardiol after reports of Bayern inquiries and mutual interest. Pep Guardiola’s departure and Manchester City’s depth in center-back and left-back positions could make a sale possible. Gvardiol is described as eager to return to the Bundesliga and join Bayern, with his entourage pushing for the move. Bayern reportedly likes the player, but the deal hinges on money, with an estimated cost of at least €70 million and a need for Bayern to complete sales first. Manchester City is also offering a renewal, and Bayern may walk away if the asking price exceeds its internal maximum.
"Joško Gvardiol would love to return to the Bundesliga and is very keen to join Bayern. The player's entourage is also pushing him to make the move. Bayern like Gvardiol, but in the end it's a question of money. He would cost at least €70m, and Bayern would need sales before. Therefore he's not a 'hot topic' right now. Gvardiol also has a renewal offer from Manchester City."
"If the reports are accurate, then mutual interest appears to be there. When you factor in that Pep Guardiola is leaving the club and that Manchester City has a slew of center-backs - Rúben Dias, Marc Guéhi, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nathan Aké, Max Alleyne - and left-backs - Nico O'Reilly, Rayan Aït-Nouri - a sale of Gvardiol does seem possible."
"However, Manchester City likely will not sell Gvardiol cheap, which could be a problem for the Bavarians: Bayern Munich can afford Gvardiol at just about any asking price, but it comes down to just how much the Bavarians want to pay. If a club's price on a player exceeds the maximum amount that Bayern Munich wants to shell out, the German Rekordmeister will just typically walk away (even if they really can afford the price)."
