According to Foot Mercato, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are all preparing offers for the player.
Chelsea were heavily linked with a move for the player over the summer, however with no deal agreed it has paved the way for significant interest from elsewhere.
As per the report, Manchester City have offered in excess of £85million and include, while Chelsea and United have offered between £77million and £82million for his services.
Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also keen to make a move for the player who is regarded as one of the top defensive talents in world football.
Gvardiol started his career with Dinamo Zagreb before moving onto German giants RB Leipzig, racking up 117 club appearances in his young career to date.
