Football Manager 2022: 10 Wonderkids You Must Sign

Position(s): D(LC)
Nationality: CRO
Club: RB Leipzig
Age: 19

Quickly becoming somewhat of a talented Centre-Back factory, Red Bull Leipzig look to have another promising young centre-back on their hands. Following the departure of highly-rated centre-backs Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate to Bayern Munich and Liverpool respectively this past summer the up-and-coming German outfit welcomed the return of Josko Gvardiol back from loan at Dynamo Zagreb. Gvardiol has been a player who has been steadily making a name for himself over the past few years and is considered a cornerstone for the future of Croatian football.

Capable of playing at left back, where he played for Croatia in the recent Euros, however his future will likely be at Centre-Back where he can shore up the centre of your defence for years to come. With a Potential Ability range of 150 - 180, Gavrdiol will become one of, if not the best centre-backs in the game within a matter of only a few seasons. Getting your hands on him will be tough though with RB Leipzig likely looking for a large fee to acquire his services, however he will almost certainly be worth it if he develops into the player he is expected to be.
