According to Italian transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are offering €90 million to sign Gvardiol in 2023. Mintzlaff, however, expects Gvardiol to stay long term.

"Josko a super player, who is certainly attracting a lot of interest. But he still has a contract with us until 2026," Mintzlaff told Bild.

"We assume that he will play with us not only this season, but also next season."

The 20-year-old Croatian centre-back has four years left on his contract with Leipzig.
