Bayern Munich interested in signing Josko Gvardiol

Bayern Munich is exploring the possibility of signing Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol. The Munich club aims to strengthen its defensive line ahead of the new season and views the Croatian international as a primary target. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

German football legend Lothar Matthäus claims that Bayern's management has already initiated preliminary talks with the player's representatives. Given his successful stint at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, a return to the German league would be seamless for Gvardiol.

Although the 24-year-old defender has become a key player for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, injuries this season have impacted his playing time. Nevertheless, his versatility, capable of playing both as a center-back and a full-back, makes him a highly attractive option for the Munich club.

Manchester City, for their part, intends to keep Gvardiol and is working on extending his current contract. However, Bayern's need for defensive restructuring and squad renewal could turn this transfer into one of the most high-profile sagas of the summer window.
