Josko Gvardiol

[Ajm1985]

leipzig’s pre-season started on july 10th for players who were not on international duty in june. joško’s not in leipzig because he was supposed to play for croatia in june, not because of his injury or some other reason. source: official leipzig twitter on several occasions.

i don’t think he’s gvardiol’s replacement, he’s just 16, i think he’s diallo’s replacement. lukeba will replace gvardiol imho. with diallo out, klosterman injured, joško leaving, they’re left with orban, the new kid and i guess rose could use simakan as a cb.


they were not forced to sell anyone. nkunku and szoboszlai transfers were triggered release clauses.
they don’t need or even want to sell gvardiol, head coach was very clear about wanting to keep gvardiol, eberl as well. that’s why joško requested to leave.
max eberl also officially denied their ffp issues the day after that article was published.

Oh yeah, I didn't think he'd be a replacement for Gvardiol but getting depth in at CB reduces the risk & would speed it up. Can't see City wanting to wait too much longer if Gvardiol is done and they get a CB in.

Think RB Leipzig are taking the piss a little bit,
If it was the other way I'm sure they would be telling us to speed it up.

We're not buying from Argos. It takes as long as it takes

Every close season, the impatience from many on here is a little embarrassing.

It will be worth it, this guy will be very special.

I'd have said pathetic rather than embarrassing

 

[Paul1970]

Was well reported that Gvardiol was not related to Laportes move or non-move.

But we need to move someone on as atm we have too many

Nkunku to Chelsea mate, & they're not rolling in it as such. They've been forced to sell their three best players, because they're deep in shit with FFP. That's their burning issue.

After previously sailing close to the wind with FFP in 2017, & current questions over the ownership of RB Leipsig & RB Saltzburg because of both clubs playing in UEFA competitions, Leipsig are back up to their necks in FFP dudu & apparently need to raise €150m this summer, so they don't fall foul of it.

Nkunku to Chelsea - £52m

Szoboszlai to Dippers - £60m

Gvardiol to City - £86m

Total - £198m

Transfer Balance after FFP - £69m

That's essentially what they've got to play with. However, most are looking at the headline £198m figure...

Why do people keep posting this fake article about them needing money?

It has been denied many times but people keep reporting it.

They want to sell Gvardiol because he has told them he would like to come to city not because they need money. Gvardiol wanting to come doesn’t mean they don’t want to get close to their valuation though.

Strange example to use for simplicity… last time I tried to order in Argos, it was unnecessarily complicated! It too took as long as it takes.

We want a realistic fee for Bernie's talent , its no different for RB Leipzig they want a realistic fee for Gvardiol talent. .
