Chelsea have reportedly renewed their interest in RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol. The Croatian has been a long-term target for the Blues and was reportedly close to securing a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Todd Boehly is understood to have led talks over a deal worth £70million, but the U.S billionaire deemed the price tag demanded by the Bundesliga outfit too much. Instead, Wesley Fofana (£69.5million) and Kalidou Koulibaly (£33million) were signed.
Benoit Badiashile, a £32million signing from AS Monaco in January, has further strengthened Graham Potter's defensive options. However, it's claimed another centre-back is targeted in anticipation of Thiago Silva's 2024 exit.
