Treble winners Manchester City have announced their second signing of the season in a record-breaking deal.
The Citizens have completed the signing of defender Josko Gvardiol from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in a deal reportedly worth €90million.
The Croatia international is now the most expensive defender in history after penning a long-term deal with the Premier League champions.

"I have always dreamed of one day playing in England and to be doing so now with Manchester City – after the season they have just had – is a real honour for me," the defender told the club's official website.
"Anyone who saw Manchester City play last season knows they are the best team in the world. To win the Treble says everything you need to know about the quality this team has.
"To be joining City is something very special for me and my family."
Gvardiola becomes only the second player to join the Citizens for the 2023/2024 season after the arrival of Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea.
The reported €90million that City paid sees Gvardiola surpass Manchester United's Harry Maguire (€87million) as the most expensive defender of all-time.
