Gvardiol deal to be done 'in the next hours' – Guardiola

BBC SPORT

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed defender Josko Gvardiol is having a medical and should complete his move from RB Leipzig “in the next hours”.

City have agreed a £77m fee for the 22-year-old Croatia international.

“He is here,” said Guardiola. “He is doing medical tests and hopefully we can finish the deal in the next hours.”

Guardiola, 52, was also asked about the futures of Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva.

Bayern Munich are keen to sign England defender Walker, 33, whilst Portugal winger Silva, 28, has attracted huge interest from the Saudi Pro-League, in addition to long-time admirers Barcelona.

“We will do everything to keep them,” he said. “It is not like (Ilkay) Gundogan as they have a contract.

“We want them to stay because they want to stay. Losing Kyle and Bernardo would be so difficult.”
