Josko Gvardiol has received a lot of praise for his performances both in the Bundesliga and currently at the World Cup. Accordingly, there is also the interest of some top clubs. The goal: He should bring in a record fee.

Josko Gvardiol has been playing for Leipzig for almost a year and a half now. Already last year, but especially since this season, not a few observers predict that he will be one of the best central defenders in the coming years.

He shows that he has the potential to do so both in the Bundesliga and at the World Cup. So important is he to Croatia that he's started every one of their four games and hasn't missed a minute.

All the more advantageous for RBL that his contract was extended until 2027. Oliver Mintzlaff made this decision early on and gave the 20-year-old an annual salary of seven million euros.

Nevertheless, the Bundesliga club will not be able to hold on to him forever - nor do they want to. Sooner or later Gvardiol will leave and want to take the next step. Leipzig will not put any obstacles in his way under one condition, as reported by Sportbild: He can leave if he achieves a new record fee for a defender. That would mean around 87 million euros.

What may at first glance look a bit megalomaniacal can by no means be ruled out. The Croatian is already estimated at a market value of 60 million euros (via transfermarkt). A sum that will increase again after the World Cup.

In addition, according to the report, there is already a club that would like to make this deal: Chelsea would be willing to pay at least 87 million euros next summer.
