Any potential suitor will need to dig deep into their pockets to make an acceptable offer, with Gvardiol’s new contract expiring in 2027 and containing a £97m release clause. However, it is thought clause that does not kick in until the start of 2024, and that could cause a scramble for his signature at a lower price.
His performances at the World Cup with Croatia only further demonstrated that he can play at the highest level after enjoying a fine tournament and it seems there could be a scrap for his signature this summer, although the player has repeatedly stated he is happy to remain with the club.
But the report says Guardiola is ‘hellbent’ on joining the race for Gvardiol and they may be best placed to convince him to move to England given their recent success in the Premier League.
Neither Chelsea or Liverpool can guarantee a top-four finish this season, which could hand City the advantage, and that would hand both Jurgen Klopp and Graham Potter a blow as they look to reshuffle their respective backlines.
