Chelsea have been given a boost in their pursuit of RB Leipzig star Josko Gvardiol, who is also wanted by Manchester City and Real Madrid. Todd Boehly is keen to add further signings to Graham Potter's squad in the January transfer window with Gvardiol having been monitored by the club for some time, football.london understands.
The interest surrounding Gvardiol stems back to the summer when Boehly attempted a late swoop for the defender, before he signed a new contract at the German outfit. Chelsea were also heavily interested in his team-mate Christopher Nkunku, with that deal 'confirmed' for the Frenchman to arrive in west London ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Chelsea will be hoping Gvardiol can join Nkunku at Stamford Bridge in the near-future especially after witnessing his dominant displays at the 2022 World Cup with Croatia. Those performances, along with his outings for Leipzig, have understandably seen interest sky-rocket and clubs may want to strike a deal soon given the clause that activates in his contract in 2024.
