Chelsea works to finalize the acquisition of RB Leipzig defender Gvardiol

Todd Boehly, a co-owner of Chelsea, has a tremendous deal of admiration for Gvardiol.

After the World Cup, Chelsea will meet to discuss the defender, according to writer Alfredo Pedulla.

While RB Leipzig are unwilling to sell, Chelsea is willing to pay up to £69 million for Gvardiol.

The Blues did make an effort to complete a move in the summer, but no deal could be reached.
