There is no indication City have officially submitted a bid for the player and the treble winners have not commented on Eberl’s claims.
Eberl told Leipziger Volksnachrichten: “Josko and his advisers have submitted the wish to us for a transfer to Manchester City.
“We are in talks with Manchester. There is nothing more to say about it at this moment.”
Gvardiol, 21, has long been linked with City and caught the eye when he scored against them in the Champions League last season.
Leipzig reportedly value Gvardiol at around £86million (€100 million) but are under little pressure to sell as the player is contracted until 2027.
The club have already sold one key player this summer, with Hungary midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai moving to Liverpool for £60 million (€70 million) at the weekend.
City have already made one new signing, with £30 million (€35 million) midfielder Mateo Kovacic arriving from Chelsea.
