Yoshiko Verdiol's anticipated move to Manchester City has garnered attention in recent weeks, with the Croatian defender expressing his desire to join the English club. Confirming this development, Max Ebel, sporting director of Leipzig, Verdiol's current team, acknowledged the player's intentions.
Verdiol's exceptional performance in the recent World Cup held in Qatar has put him in the spotlight. At just 21 years old, he contributed to Croatia's impressive third-place finish and showcased his skills throughout the previous season at Leipzig.
Having clinched the treble in the 2022-23 campaign, Manchester City is determined to secure Verdiol's services. Media reports suggest that the English club is prepared to make an £86 million offer for the talented Croatian.
In a recent interview with a German newspaper, Ebel disclosed ongoing discussions between Leipzig and Manchester City regarding Verdiol's potential transfer.
"We have been informed by Yoshko (Verdiol) and his advisors about his desire to join Manchester City. Talks are underway between us and Manchester City. At this point, there is no further information to provide on the matter."
