And according to Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze, City have already submitted a new £77m (€90m/$114m) plus add-ons bid for Gvardiol.
City boss Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of Gvardiol and sees him as a perfect replacement for Aymeric Laporta, who is likely to be sold this summer.
City are looking to strengthen their squad after winning a historic treble. They could lose several players like Laporta, Ilkay Gundoga, Jaoa Ccancelo, Bernardo Silva, and Kyle Walker this summer.
Meanwhile, they have also reached an agreement with Chelsea over the signing of Gvardiol’s national team teammate Mateo Kovacic, with the Craotian expected to undergo a medical and sign for City this week.
