RB Leipzig's new head of sport Max Eberl wants to keep his internationally sought-after defender Joško Gvardiol in the trade fair city for longer.
When asked about any mail requests for the Croatian after his strong performance at the World Cup in Qatar, Eberl joked on Monday evening in the "Sport & Talk from Hangar-7" program on ServusTV: "They're all in the spam folder .
Gvardiol, offer, direct spam.
So I haven't received any yet."
The 49-year-old continued: "I'm happy that I can now work with guys like this and would like to do it for longer than half a year.
Accordingly, I hope and assume that he will play with us for a long time.”
For the 20-year-old defender, RB had already received and turned down highly paid offers in the summer.
The Croatian's contract runs until June 30, 2026.
