Antonio Rudiger is on course to leave Chelsea on a free transfer at the end of this season, and across Europe various sources are getting very excited about his potential arrival.
Real Madrid made a smart move for David Alaba in a similar situation last season, picking up one of Europe’s top defenders on a free, and now they see the chance of getting another German international at the back at a similar discount.
El Espanol have a full report today on Los Blancos and their feelings – they’re “rubbing their hands” at the prospect of another top player on the cheap, and Rudiger is apparently increasingly tempted by their offer of €10m a year.
Perhaps Chelsea’s only hope is that Rudiger will see Eder Militao and Alaba as the clear first and second choice. Is he willing to go and be their third ranked defender, when he’s a leader and an automatic selection for Chelsea? We will soon find out.
we going to witness another master stroke decision from the chelsea’s transfer guru, a new peak in club management.
