While the top European clubs have long been forming in the race for the defender’s services, his adviser Marjan Sisic has now commented on Gvardiol’s future.

Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and FC Barcelona are among the interested parties. The left-footer recently extended his contract with the Saxons until 2027. The international hype about Gvardiol is currently growing with every further World Cup game, only three central defenders have a higher market value at the tournament in Qatar. National coach Zlatko Dalic had chosen the young Leipzig player as the “best defender in the world” in the exuberance of reaching the round of 16.

This may be. But first Gvardiol will have to compete with the really best strikers in the world. With the exception of Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku, at the World Cup with Croatia he has at best only met international B-goods. And in just one half against Lukaku, he and his neighbors gave the Belgian top striker a number of great chances. The fact that it was 0-0 at the end of the last preliminary round and that vice world champions Croatia even reached the round of 16 was mainly due to the inefficiency of the long injured Lukaku that evening. In the quarterfinals against Brazil with superstar Neymar on Friday (from 4 p.m. in the TM live ticker) Gvardiol will be able to prove for the first time whether he can really confirm the praise of his compatriots at the highest level.
