Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring the situation of Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol at Manchester City, according to European transfer reports.
The German club, along with other major European sides, are said to be admirers of the defender, who offers high value because of his ability to play different roles across the back line.
Manchester City, however, are moving to protect Gvardiol’s future, with reports suggesting the club are preparing talks over a long-term contract.
There is no official indication of a formal bid or agreement at this stage, so the matter remains at the monitoring and exploratory phase before the transfer window becomes more active.
Gvardiol is regarded as one of Europe’s most prominent Croatian defenders, making any movement around his future a major transfer-market story.
