Romano added that talks between Man City and Leipzig are set to begin, although the Bundesliga side will not sell their star defender for less than €100million.
Should the Citizens agree to Leipzig's demands, the Croatia international will become the most expensive defender in football history, a tag which is currently held by Manchester United captain Harry Maguire after his €87million move from Leicester City in 2019.
