Chelsea and Man Utd want to sign RB Leipzig star

Chelsea and Manchester United are both in the mix to sign RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol next summer.

The Croatian has been touted to pursue a bigger challenge away from Leipzig and he could head to the Premier League.

Chelsea have been long-term admirers of his services, but Sky Sport Germany claim that United are also in the pursuit.

Leipzig committed Gvardiol to a new long-term deal this summer, but this has not stopped speculation over his future.

The German club have a not-for-sale stance on the 20-year-old, but this could change at the end of the ongoing season.

Gvardiol has also been linked with Manchester City in the past, and it remains to be seen whether they will return for him.

The Cityzens blocked Nathan Ake's exit last summer and his possible departure could pave the way for Gvardiol's arrival.

Leipzig could place a staggering price tag on the defender next summer, considering there is no release clause on his contract.
