Not even for Haaland or Grealish, Manchester City close to complete their most expensive signing ever

Manchester City does not want its last season to be a fluke or a one-off event. Pep Guardiola's team has plans to continue their conquest in Europe and return to compete for all the titles, now with the Club World Cup also being their route of commitments. Now, it comes as a surprise what they are about to pay for a footballer.

With Ilkay Gundogan in the hands of FC Barcelona, Bernardo Silva on the exit ramp, like Aymeric Laporte, and after the lightning moves of Real Madrid for Jude Bellingham and Arsenal for Declan Rice, it remained to be seen what Manchester City, current European champion and top candidate to revalidate the European title, also the scepter of the Premier League, would do next season, and their reaction surpasses them all: their signing will be the most expensive ever and will go with Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

Confirmed in the LVZ media outlet RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl that "Gvardiol and his agents gave us their wish to move to Manchester City . We are in talks with City. A defender, that of Leipzig in which the citizens had set their eyes since their great World Cup in Qatar 2022 and that can be a reality.

According to the talk held by Leipzig's sporting director, the English club is willing to pay an amount that exceeds 100 million euros and complementary bonuses that would make it the most expensive signing in defense and possibly end up surpassing the 100 million they put in at the time for Jack Grealish.
