Although Pep Guardiola’s first squad is now loaded with alternatives at centre back, the intense competition may force some players to move on at the end of the current campaign. Laporte has only made 10 appearances in the Premier League so far this year. If the 28-year-old decides to leave the Etihad this summer, City is rumoured to not stand in his way.

Gvardiol, meantime, has had a standout season in Germany, garnering interest from all across Europe. His mobility at left-back and center-back is a particular draw for the interested parties.One of the unexpected heroes of the winter World Cup in Qatar was the Croatian centre defender, sparking rumours that many European powerhouses would make a move for him.
Gvardiol is ‘of interest’ if the club ‘needs to improve in that area’ should a defensive opening arise within the City team. Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, and Aymeric Laporte are now competing for a starting spot for City, and the latter is allegedly evaluating his future at the Premier League team.

But according to the article, Leipzig would seek €100 million in exchange for the 21-year-old’s services. The Croatian international has also been strongly linked with a transfer to Chelsea, but that asking price surely shuts out a move to Stamford Bridge. According to the report, Leipzig would be compelled to let important players leave during the forthcoming transfer window in an effort to balance the books, which might pave the way for Gvardiol to leave.
