At the 2022 Qatar World Cup Josko Gvardiol was able to further show to Todd Boehly and Chelsea that parting with significant funds to sign him is in absolute must. Gvardiol helped Croatia achieve a third-placed finish after they beat the other stricken semi-finalists Morocco in the third place play-off, with Gvardiol scoring in his nation's 2-1 victory.
The RB Leipzig star was amongst some of the best performers in Qatar and after being heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the summer he could be tempted to join up with two other members of Leipzig's set up who could play crucial roles for the Blues in 2023. With Christopher Nkunku agreeing to become a Chelsea player for the 2023/24 season, while former Leipzig Technical Director Christopher Vivell was confirmed in his new role with the Blues on Wednesday.
Real Madrid and Manchester City are also on red alert for Gvardiol with the Premier League champions, according to Foot Mercato, reporting that Manchester City have tabled a €110million (£95million) offer.
