Footballer Joško Gvardiol Publicly Reveals Girlfriend Lu Mastrović After Signing New Manchester City Contract

Joško Gvardiol, the 24-year-old Croatian defender for Manchester City, has publicly confirmed his relationship with Lu Mastrović, a veterinary student from Zagreb. The revelation came via an Instagram post celebrating his contract extension with the club, which now ties him to Manchester City until 2031. Among a series of photos from the contract signing, one featured Mastrović standing behind Gvardiol, with her hand resting on his shoulder, marking the first time the footballer has publicly showcased his partner. The post quickly garnered significant attention from fans and the public. Mastrović, 20, is also a skilled skier and has worked as an instructor. She previously trained in taekwondo. The couple had managed to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye, with speculation beginning late last year. They were seen together at various events, including a brand celebration hosted by Izabel Kovačić, wife of Gvardiol's teammate Mateo Kovačić, but maintained a low profile. Earlier, they visited Mastrović's grandfather at a nursing home on Krk island, where a photo with a resident was shared online, showcasing their approachable side. Gvardiol's public acknowledgment of Mastrović signifies a new phase in their relationship, blending his professional success with a personal milestone.
