According to Sportske Novosti, Manchester City wants Joško Gvardiol to extend his contract amidst transfer speculation. His current contract runs until 2028. The future of City is uncertain due to a possible penalty regarding violations of financial rules. The report also mentions that the possibility of Gvardiol playing with Dani Olmo again is a notable one, if Barca had the money.

According to reports in the Spanish media, Barcelona are increasingly being linked with a potential move for Joško Gvardiol. It is also stated that Manchester City would certainly demand a sum greater than 100 million euros for the defender.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona are interested in Joško Gvardiol as a defensive solution for the next four or five years. He is identified as having a desired profile: a left-footed center-back who can also play as a full-back, is good on the ball, experienced but not too old, familiar with top-level competitions, and is open to joining a major club such as Barcelona if the offer is suitable. Gvardiol's contract is valid until 2028. Manchester City signed him from Leipzig for 90 million euros in 2022. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be around 70 million euros. Barcelona's plans to pursue Gvardiol depend on resolving Financial Fair Play restrictions by the upcoming summer.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Josko Gvardiol is at the top of FC Barcelona's list of desired players as the club intends to add a central defender to its squad. Barcelona hopes to find a way to comply with Fair Play regulations and appears to be targeting a summer transfer.
