It’s not like Josko Gvardiol was an unknown player a month ago, but the stunning performances that took Croatia into the World Cup semi-final have done wonders for the reputation of the young defender. And you know what happens when you star on the biggest stage – the big clubs come calling!According to Foot Mercato, Gvardiol’s club RB Leipzig already has three mouth-watering offers on the table for the versatile left-footed starlet.German club Leipzig signed Gvardiol from his boyhood club Dinamo Zagreb for $19 million, and are now likely to make at least four times as much from the next transfer. According to the French website, specialised in the football market, Manchester City’s initial offer for Gvardiol is the biggest that has been made. This offer tops $100 million, including bonuses, and offers Leipzig a percentage of any future resale.Joško Gvardiol vs Brazil pic.twitter.com/MIiyxy7zHf— 𝘽𝙎𝙏 🀄️™️🇦🇷🇭🇷🇲🇦 (@BSTComps) December 9, 2022 Manchester United and Chelsea have also made offers for the 20-year-old, with their bids coming in between $90 million and $95 million.Bayern are also in the race, but would have to make an even bigger offer if Leipzig are to let their prized asset join a Bundesliga rival. Besides, the player himself is believed to prefer the English Premier League as his next career move.Over the past few weeks, Real Madrid have also been rumoured as one of the interested parties, although no offer was submitted by the La Liga giants. Perhaps national side teammate Luka Modric could have a role in luring his young protege to become the next Croat to pull on the white shirt at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.##NAJAVA_MECA_6881967##One thing is sure: the race for Gvardiol’s signature will be long and fierce. In the process, his first club Dinamo Zagreb will happily wait for the outcome of the looming bidding war, knowing that 20 per cent of the profit Leipzig makes will go back to the Croatian champions.
