Josko Gvardiol seeks exit from Manchester City after Guardiola's departure

Josko Gvardiol is reportedly looking to leave Manchester City following Pep Guardiola's exit as manager. City's board is under pressure but is prepared to offer a new contract to retain the defender. Reports suggest Gvardiol's desire to leave stems from Guardiola being a pivotal figure in his move to the club in 2023. With Manchester City facing potential departures and securing their core players, the situation regarding Gvardiol may lead to significant interest from other clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The incoming manager, Enzo Maresca, is expected to address Gvardiol's future at the club during pre-season training in late July or early August.
