RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol is one of the biggest names in world football and is currently linked to some of the biggest teams including real Madrid and Chelsea . The Croatian whose market value according to figures from Transfermarkt is €75.00m is willing to join the giants according to AS via Fichajes.

The newspaper claims despite the player’s willingness to join Real Madrid, the club will not pay a hefty sum for his services which could be on the table in the summer.

The 21-year-old is also on the wishlist of Premier League side Chelsea who have broken the record in the European transfer market.

Josko Gvardiol to Real Madrid: what they say

Fichajes claims Florentino Pérez has rejected the idea of signing the Leipzig defender despite his intentions of moving to the Santiago Bernabéu as it may not be necessary to make changes to the team.

Josko Gvardiol’s release clause is around 100 million euros, an obstacle standing in the way of clubs that are willing to secure his services. However, Chelsea has remained a potential destination for the defender.

Chelsea recently broke a British transfer record following the signing of Enzo Fernández from Benfica for around 105 million pounds.
