The Croatia international has penned a five-year deal at City, arriving from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and becomes our second signing of the summer.
Across his two seasons at the Red Bull Arena, the 21-year-old made 81 appearances, won the DFP-Pokal in successive seasons in 2022 and 2023 and qualified for the Champions League in consecutive terms.
Gvardiol’s immense outings for Die Roten Bullen has also translated onto the international stage, where he played in all seven of Croatia’s 2022 World Cup fixtures – helping his nation to a third-place finish.
A player with such versatility and impressive qualities on and off the ball may make him a prized asset in FPL, with the defender holding a transfer value of £5.0m.
This represents his maiden price in the game, with the 21-year-old set to taste the Premier League’s rigours for the first time next season.
The 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League campaign is now live and the first deadline for managers is Friday 11 August at 18:30 (UK).
