Antonio Rudiger might leave Chelsea to join the Blancos.
Chelsea are struggling to sign a new deal with German defender Antonio Rudiger. The 28-year-old’s contract will expire in the summer, with a host of top club’s monitoring his situation.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are considering a move for Rudiger.
Chelsea already have a successor!
The London club’s move to give Trevoh Chaloba a new five-year deal will surely affect Rudiger’s contract talks. The German defender might have to leave Chelsea as they now have a young replacement at their disposal.
Real Madrid are keen to bolster their backline in the upcoming transfer window. The Spanish side saw two of their best defenders leave the club in the summer. The Blancos added David Alaba from Bayern Munich, but they are looking for more experienced defenders.
Who else is involved in the race?
In addition to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus are closely monitoring the situation of Rudiger. The German defender has peaked under Thomas Tuchel but might have to leave London after his contract expires.
