Josko Gvardiol still 'interested' in 'dream' Liverpool move as Real Madrid transfer claim rejected

Liverpool-linked defender and World Cup breakout star Josko Gvardiol has not 'offered his services' to Real Madrid ahead of a potential summer move, according to reports from Germany.

Gvardiol was named in the 2022 World Cup team of the tournament as helped Croatia reach the semi-final stages for the second time in succession. And the 21-year-old's performances in Qatar have seen him linked with moves to 'dream club' Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid from RB Leipzig.
