Antonio Rüdiger’s current contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season. After that, the international will allegedly play for Real Madrid.
At least since the CL triumph of Chelsea FC, central defender Antonio Rüdiger has been one of the hottest personalities on the transfer market. Real Madrid have been courting the 28-year-old for a long time. A transfer is apparently imminent.
According to information from the British telegraph Some Real Madrid professionals are already expecting the arrival of the German national player. From January 1st, Rüdiger will be able to agree a preliminary contract with other clubs that will be valid from July without his current employer, Chelsea FC, being able to intervene.
With Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard, Rüdiger would meet old friends from the blues times in Spain’s capital, and the relationship with ex-Bayern defender David Alaba is said to be extraordinarily good. Apparently Rüdiger even tried to convince the Austrian to move to London.
Is Antonio Rüdiger coming? Real Madrid optimistic
According to information from GOAL and SPOX Real is already optimistic that they will be able to sign Rüdiger for free next summer. The royals have already submitted an offer for € 8.5 million in annual earnings at Rüdiger’s entourage.
The central defender is unlikely to stay with the current Champions League winner. The sticking point in the stalled negotiations about a contract extension is apparently the salary. While Rüdiger is calling for his current salary to be doubled, Chelsea should not be ready to take this step.
With the Madrilenians this shouldn’t be a problem. Rüdiger was recently associated with FC Bayern, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
