Croatia star attracting BIG interest from Premier League clubs 😲

Posted by

Croatia find themselves in their second consecutive World Cup semi-final after beating overwhelming tournament favourites Brazil on penalties in the last eight.

And they don’t have many more people to thank for their impressive run than young defender Josko Gvardiol, who has been arguably the best defender at this year’s tournament.

Playing with a protective mask hasn’t stopped Gvardiol from winning many plaudits for his elite performances in Qatar and as a result, the 20-year old is attracting interest from some of Europe’s elite.

Chelsea came very close to signing Gvardiol back in the summer, when they submitted a £77million bid to bring the RB Leipzig player to Stamford Bridge but the deal never materialised, as the Croatian ended up signing a new deal at Leipzig until 2027.

Now, it seems as though both Manchester City and United have registered interest in the player.

If French outlet Foot Mercato is to be believed, City have offered over £85million and have included a sell-on clause, while Chelsea and United have offered between £77m and £82m for his services.

Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also said to be interested so Gvardiol certainly isn’t short of clubs to choose from, but where will he end up? Let us know in the comments.
