Leipzig jewel Gvardiol: U-turn on the exit clause?

RB Leipzig knows about the desirability of Josko Gvardiol. So far, a departure only seemed to be a question of the possible transfer fee. But now there seems to be a reversal in terms of the release clause.

Josko Gvardiol has long been predicted by many fans and experts to have a great career. The young central defender was not only able to convince in and for Leipzig. He also cut a good figure at the World Cup. On Saturday afternoon he secured third place with Croatia.

One thing is clear for the Bundesliga club: sooner or later the 20-year-old will change. At the latest during the last weeks of the World Cup, Gvardiol has also made a name for itself internationally.

The good news from RBL’s point of view: His contract runs until 2027. So there is no corresponding sales pressure that would lower any price. The opposite is the case. When the time to say goodbye comes, the Saxons plan to set a new record fee.

Exit clause for 2024: Gvardiol with a chance of a simple departure from Leipzig

So far, there has never been any talk of an exit clause. It was therefore assumed that the club could negotiate the transfer independently. The focus should be on a price above 85 million euros.

Now, however, there appears to be a reversal. the picture reports that there is an exit clause in the contract.

Also skyReporter Florian Plettenberg confirmed on ‘Transfer Update – the show’ that there are “definitely exit options” for the summer of 2024. The part of picture However, he could not confirm the sum of 110 million euros brought into play. The important news, however: At the end of the next season, Leipzig will not be able to resist a farewell if a corresponding offer comes.

Those responsible would probably not have done that anyway. Only the self-negotiated transfer fee does not apply in this scenario.

Meanwhile, it also seems likely that Gvardiol will only switch in 2024 and not at the end of the current season. According to Plettenberg, this is also due to the fact that there is no corresponding clause for the coming summer. For this reason, “everything currently speaks for it” that the Croatian defender will play another season for RBL.
