Real Madrid used to be the team that broke the transfer market with the huge fees they paid, but in the last few years they’ve got smart.
Why pay €200m for Kylian Mbappe when you can just wait and get him for free? That’s been their logic in recent years, and it’s worked out well for them. You don’t get much better than David Alaba on a free transfer.
Now, according to AS, they’re looking to repeat the trick on a Chelsea player. Antonio Rudiger is one of the biggest names who will be on the free agent market this summer, and Los Blancos fancy their chances of picking him up.
Chelsea’s offers to the German international seem to have reached a limit, so ultimately it will be down to him to decide whether to stay or go. We just pray that he enjoys himself so much in the next 6 months that he can’t bear to leave us.
