One of the biggest stars of the 2022 FIFA World Cup was Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol. The 20-year-old center-back was one of the standout members of the Vatreni during the competition, which saw them reach the third place in the tournament after beating Morocco in the consolation match.
Now, the footballer has been tipped to be one of the most sought-after players in Europe, with RB Leipzig, his current employers, ready to cash in on a potential transfer.
Reports coming in from Germany state that RB Leipzig have slapped a $100M price tag on the footballer to ensure their investment on the player pays off.
While there may not be any formal offers for the player to leave the club mid-season, there could be a high-profile move in the works for the talented center-back, who has played 28 games across all competitions for the German side and for the national team.
If the team's projections regarding his future turn out to be true, Gvardiol could become the most expensive center back in history, surpassing players such as Harry Maguire, Virgil Van Dijk, or Matthijs de Ligt.
