Why Chelsea must repeat Christopher Nkunku transfer trick as Josko Gvardiol price tag revealed

Josko Gvardiol Christopher Nkunku Todd Boehly Leipzig RB Leipzig Wesley Fofana

Chelsea's transfer pursuit of RB Leipzig star Josko Gvardiol has taken a significant turn following the reveal of a €110million (£96million) release clause in the 20-year-olds contract that will become active in 2024. 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.

Following the announcement of former Leipzig recruitment chief Christopher Vivell, the backroom re-shuffle conducted by Boehly is complete, with attention now likely to be firmly focused on the January transfer window.

It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
