Josko Gvardiol rose through Dinamo Zagreb's academy before moving to RB Leipzig in 2021, where his commanding displays as a ball-playing centre-back earned him a place in Croatia's 2022 World Cup squad at just 20. In 2023 Manchester City signed him for around 77 million pounds, then a world-record fee for a defender. Comfortable at centre-back or left-back and dangerous going forward, he is now a cornerstone of Croatia's defence.
