Josko Gvardiol is said to be attracting the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs, with Manchester City also keen on the defender.
The 20-year-old has shown his capabilities on the world stage in Qatar, none more so than during Croatia's progression to the last eight of the competition. Gvardiol joined German side RB Leipzig back in 2020 and has slowly progressed into one of the Bundesliga's best central defenders.
According to reports via The Standard, the Blues are ready to rival any bids put in for the Croatian, with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all known to be keen on acquiring the former Dinamo Zagreb man. His agent, Marjan Sisic, said on Monday that Gvardiol is “not in a hurry” to decide his future this summer.

Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola's side could also be in line to receive a hefty boost to their transfer kitty, with Spurs lining up a move for Sporting Lisbon right-back Pedro Porro. City sold the defender in the summer having failed to impress here in England.
A 30 percent sell-on clause was also inserted into the deal while the current Premier League holders also have the ability to get him back, having included a £17.6m buy-back clause included in the package.
The Express has reported that Antonio Conte is keen on lining up a move for Porro, with City set to recieve some £8.5m of the £39m fee that current club Sporting are said to be holding out for. Porro spent three years on Man City’s books between 2019 and 2022 but did feature for the club during that time.
