Barcelona look set to miss out on another defender as reported target Josko Gvardiol
is expected to commit his future to Manchester City.Gvardiol has been linked with Barca this summer and said only “we’ll see what happens” when quizzed on his future before World Cup 2026.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Gvardiol is now expected to sign a contract extension with City until 2031 and will also receive a pay rise.
Gvardiol is the latest defender to move away from Barcelona. A move for Alessandro Bastoni now looks completely dead, Marco Senesi has joined Tottenham, and Brighton are trying to sign Luka Vuskovic.
Barcelona’s focus still seems to be on trying to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico, although there is continued speculation the Catalans could still try to sign a defender.
