Josko Gvardiol has managed to persuade several European giants, including Real Madrid, who had been closely watching him for some time, following his extraordinary World Cup performance with Croatia.

The top clubs in Europe were impressed by the young defender's exceptional poise and solidity, which combined with his imposing physique, won them over.

One of them appeared to be Chelsea, but the blues have chosen to go for AS Monaco's defender Benoit Badiashile, who will soon join the London team.

Real Madrid will benefit from this movement even though they will not do anything crazy to sign him. Real Madrid are waiting for Gvardiol, according to Fabrizio Romano, who also mentioned in the "House of Champions" program on CBS Sports, but everything will depend on the transfer fee. There have not been any negotiations with Leipzig yet. If the cost is reasonable, Los Blancos will attempt to transfer him this summer. Meanwhile, Manchester City are also monitoring the player and ready to move for him.
