According to German Sky Sports reporter Plettenberg, Bayern has withdrawn from the Gvardiol transfer race, and the player will decide between extending his contract and joining Real Madrid.
Reporter Plettenberg reported that it is understood that Gvardiol will decide between two options: one is to extend his contract with Manchester City until after 2028, with the club having already submitted a concrete renewal offer; the other is to transfer to Real Madrid this summer. Real Madrid's interest is substantial. However, Manchester City is actively pushing to keep him.
Bayern Munich has 100% withdrawn from the competition. Although the club highly appreciates the 24-year-old top center-back, they will not participate in the race due to the excessive transfer fee and the team's current lack of recruitment needs in that position.
