Make a lucrative offer

The latter had switched from Borussia Dortmund to FC Barcelona for the 2017/18 season, including additional payments and bonuses, for a total of 140 million euros. Chelsea, who have so far spent the second most money on the transfer market in the world with around 186 million euros invested this summer, are said to have submitted an offer of 90 million euros to the Bundesliga club for Gvardiol. As Romano further reports, the possible change of the 20-year-old is not planned immediately, but only for the summer of 2023. According to further reports from England, Gvardiol will initially continue on loan to RB for the rest of the season.

Update Aug 30 8:39pm: Leipzig’s managing director OIiver Mintzlaff was in the evening of “Bild” reporter Christian Falk with a view to the speculation about Gvardiol as follows: “Josko still has a contract with us until 2026. We assume that he will not only play with us this season, but also next season.”

RB could therefore count on the defender for another season, who switched from Dinamo Zagreb to Leipzig for 18.8 million euros last summer, and look around for a suitable replacement. In total, the ten-time national player has played 50 games (2 goals, 4 assists) since his move, but this season coach Domenico Tedesco has allowed the professional nominated for the “Golden Boy” award to play a maximum of 45 minutes so far.

The defensive, which made an unusually large number of mistakes in the first phase of the season, is currently considered the coach’s primary construction site. National player Lukas Klostermann will be out for a longer time, Willi Orban and Gvardiol were recently out of action with adductor problems. According to a report by “Kicker”, RB planned to make improvements here. What that means for a potential Gvardiol deal with Chelsea remains to be seen.
