Chelsea are rated as favourites to land RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.

The 21-year-old Croatia international, who can play left-back or centre-half, is currently on World Cup duty.

Juventus have also been keen, while Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester City have also been linked.

Now TuttoJuve are claiming that Timo Werner's return to the German club from Stamford Bridge could lead to the Blues taking “advantage" due to their good relationship with the Bundesliga outfit.

The report also adds that Juventus are ready to end their interest as they are “unlikely" to even be able to “fight" against Chelsea for his signing.
