RB Leipzig are battling to retain Josko Gvardiol amid mounting interest from England, led by Chelsea and Tottenham.
The German side are digging their heels in and hoping to keep hold of their star centre-back Gvardiol.
Though Chelsea are preparing to spend big following the completion of Todd Boehly’s £4.25bn takeover and Gvardiol is one of the top targets in their planned defensive rebuild.
Chelsea are in the market for at least two centre backs with Antonio Rudiger’s move to Real Madrid confirmed today and Andreas Christensen poised to follow him to La Liga and join Barcelona.
