Josko Gvardiol breaks silence on failed Chelsea transfer in dream Liverpool admission

Josko Gvardiol has opened up on his failed move to Chelsea in the summer but may have done himself some damage in the eyes of fans after revealing it isn't his dream club. Having chased him over the summer Gvardiol commited his future to RB Leipzig with a new long-term contract but has since gone on to dominate at the World Cup.

He is now one of the most in-demand centrebacks in the world and has gained the attention of Real Madrid and Manchester City for his outstanding displays. As a 21-year-old left-footed defender he mirrors the profile of player that Chelsea just signed with Benoit Badiashile.

The Frenchman has joined from Monaco this month for around £35m, at least half of the what was being offered for Gvardiol. With increased competition for the Bundesliga man he has opened up on the next steps in his career, explaining what went wrong for Chelsea over the summer.
