According to Football Insider via Sportskeeda, Manchester City have opened talks with RB Leipzig over the signing of Chelsea transfer target Josko Gvardiol.

The report adds: “Chelsea were reportedly close to signing Gvardiol last summer but could not strike a deal with Leipzig. The Blues remain interested in the 21-year-old’s services, according to 90min

“However, Chelsea might be forced to end their interest in Gvardiol, as the Cityzens are reportedly confident of reaching an agreement with Leipzig. The defender has a £100 million release clause in his contract, but the Bundesliga club could sell him for a figure closer to £90 million.”
