Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been warned that RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol is not for sale at any price this summer, despite both Premier League giants enquiring over the availability of the young defender. Transfermarkt understands that the player is on the shopping list of each London club but recent contact with their counterparts in Germany have made it clear that the Croatian talent will be staying put this summer. 

Gvardiol was nothing short of a revelation for the Saxony side over the course of the 2021/22 season, when he made the move to the Bundesliga side following an €18.8 million move from Dinamo Zagreb. Following the sale of Dayot Upamecano to Bayern Munich for €42m, new head coach Jesse Marsch gave the Croatian talent a starting role in his team in only the second matchday of the new league campaign and that’s where Gvardiol stayed, missing just four of the club’s next 33 league games.

As such, Gvardiol’s market value has shot up in no time at all, jumping from €19m to €25m in December last year, before rising to €30m in March of this year following his impressive performances for RB Leipzig in which he helped his side win their first German Cup title. The 20-year-old talent is now valued at €35m, following our most recent market value update for the Bundesliga. 

Despite their relatively short history in the German top flight, Leipzig are no strangers to enquiries for their young stars from the Premier League. Three of the club’s five most expensive departures came about from offers from England, with Ibrahima Konaté’s €40m move to Liverpool, Timo Werner’s €53m deal to join Chelsea and then Naby Keïta’s €60m transfer to the aforementioned Anfield side all coming in the previous four years. However, unlikely Upamecano’s €42m move to Bayern, Leipzig won’t be tripped up by any release clauses in Gvardiol’s contract and if they do eventually decide to sell the player, will be able to name their price – which could end up being a record transfer fee for the club.
