Before the start of last season, Liverpool signed Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig, and the German club replaced the Frenchman with Josko Gvardiol.
Recently, the Croatian international said that his dream move would be to play for his favorite club, Liverpool.
According to RTL Danas (via The Daily Mail), the 20-year-old central defender:
“What is my ideal club? That would unquestionably be Liverpool. I’ve been watching a lot of their matches with my dad since I was a kid.”
“‘We covered every season in detail. It is a club that has remained in my heart.”
Gvardiol moved to Leipzig in 2020 but was immediately loaned out to Dinamo Zagreb for the 2020-21 campaign.
In the current campaign, so far, the youngster has started 13 games under the management of Marco Rose and helped the Bundesliga side keep 8 clean sheets.
He was a standout at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and Sky Sports named him to their Team of the Tournament.
Croatia won the bronze medal in Doha, and Gvardiol scored the game-winning goal against Morocco in the third-place play-off.
Top clubs are interested in hiring him due to his regular results for both the club and the country.
According to estimates (The Daily Record), the 19-cap international, who is under contract until 2027, is worth roughly £70 million.
Liverpool does have quality central defenders at the moment but Matip and injured, Van Dijk, will turn 32 this year.
