Chelsea aim to make double raid on Leipzig as Gvardiol move back on agenda

Christopher Nkunku is not the only RB Leipzig player that Chelsea want to sign. Multiple sources report that the Blues are once again pursuing a deal for centre-back Josko Gvardiol.

Last summer, Leipzig rejected Chelsea's approaches for the Croatian player and signed a new deal with the 20-year-old instead.

However, The Telegraph claims now that this new deal included a release clause set at about £43.6m.

The Guardian adds that Chelsea are likely to make a move for Gvardiol in January.

A move for Gvardiol is not that advanced as that for Nkunku, though, as the French forward has already signed a pre-contract agreement with the Blues. He is waiting for the clubs to reach a deal on the rtansfer fee that could be slighly above his £52.5m release clause.
