‘What?’, ‘Can’t see Ruben going anywhere’ – Man City fans react as report claims key defensive star could quit if Guardiola snaps up Josko Gvardiol

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims key defensive star could quit the club if Pep Guardiola opts to bring in RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol for big money in 2023.

City, along with Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham, have all targeted the Croatia centre-back after his superb performances at the World Cup in Qatar.

It’s claimed that Manchester City, United and Chelsea are all willing to pay in excess of £80million to sign the 20-year-old.

Pep Guardiola currently has John Stones, Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake at his disposal. keeping all the existing centre-halves happy ‘will be a major concern’ if Gvardiol signs up.

According to 90min Football, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake or Aymeric Laporte could quit Man City if the Premier League champions sign Joško Gvardiol in the new year.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“I’m not okay with the idea of selling anyone tbh, Why the hell do we have to sacrifice one of our good defenders who are having different characteristics and been used to our gameplay to bring another cb, what’s the idea?”

“We don’t need Gvardiol, we cannot buy into this world cup hype. Players perform for their countries at the world cup then get a big money move and it turns out to be a waste. We have 5 world class centre backs, why disturb that harmony?”
