Chelsea are pushing to complete their pursuit of RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol.

The central defender, who plays for Croatia, has been impressive at the World Cup.

Gvardiol is someone that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly admires greatly.

Per reporter Alfredo Pedulla, Chelsea will have a meeting regarding the defender after the World Cup.

Chelsea are willing to pay up to £69 million for Gvardiol, but RB Leipzig are not in the mood to sell.

The Blues did attempt to conclude a transfer in the summer, but no agreement was found.
