We're yet to complete the signing. That's where we're at? We're dragging our heels over the fee they want, it's self-evident at this stage.
OR could it be that Leipsig don't want to be negotiating with other clubs for Gvardiol's replacement, with them knowing RB have got £90m+ burning a hole in their pocket?
RB have been back for pre-season for 3 weeks.
Leipsig have publicly announced Gvardiol to City is practically a done deal.
Gvardiol's apparently in personal training in Croatia & NOT with the RB Squad.
We're not back for pre-season until Monday.
We fly out to our far east tour on Wednesday.
It's no skin off City's nose if we've respectfully given RB until Tuesday to complete a deal for Gvardiol's replacement, or to announce his transfer to us so we can crack on with our pre-season with him included. This is a more likely scenario imo.
This stressy behaviour reminds me of fans losing their shit when Kovavic's transfer wasn't announced the moment our interest was rumoured.
We negotiated with Chelsea for a player who only wanted City & got him for £30m all in. Gvardiol to City will happen when it happens mate.
