Heading: Gvardiol’s interest from Chelsea
Josko Gvardiol has attracted strong interest from Chelsea, who submitted their own €90m bid last summer. A move to Stamford Bridge failed to materialise but Gvardiol made it clear that he was keen on a switch to the London club. ‘I was really confused because one month before the window starts I was upstairs with the sporting director and he says, ‘Yeah Josko, we are not going to sell you, we need you, we believe in you,’ and I was like ok I am fine with this, I can stay here, I like it here, all I need is to work on myself, to play, to win something else. It was like this until the last two days,’ Gvardiol said in an interview with The Times in February.
