Chelsea transfer target and RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol has admitted he has spoken with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

Gvardiol also revealed RB Leipzig have no interest in selling him this summer, despite interest from Chelsea and Manchester City.

Gvardiol’s contract includes a release clause of €100m which becomes active in 2024, so any sale this year will have to be negotiated directly with Leipzig – something Gvardiol does not believe his current employers are prepared to do.

“I extended my hand to Guardiola and congratulated him on advancing in the Champions League,” the defender said. “Guardiola, a great coach, threw a few words at me, but I will keep them to myself.”

“The club is not interested in selling me this summer, so there is no point in talking about anything else,” Gvardiol told a press conference.

“The most important thing is to end this season in Leipzig in the best possible way.”
