Manchester City will find it difficult to negotiate a deal with Red Bull Leipzig for Josko Gvardiol.
The central defender is one of the top rated players in his position within his age group.
Per The Mail, City are eager to secure Gvardiol, but they are aware that Leipzig have no financial need to sell.
A hefty price tag of 88 million has been put on the Croatian's shoulders by his club.
While the Sky Blues are close to signing his countryman Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea, Gvardiol is another story.
Leipzig would have to bring down their asking price for City to return to the negotiating table.
