Antonio Rüdiger does not have a quiet week. And as long as you do not make a decision about your future, it seems that you will not have one. The German want to continue at Chelsea, but he understands that they do not value him enough after having gone from ostracism with Lampard to Olympus of the defenders with Tuchel. In Stamford Bridge they do not agree to pay him the net 12 million what do you want to charge and that he has placed Bayern, Barça or Madrid on his trail. The whites have experience in this type of operation, how well it has gone with Alaba, and they do not want to miss the opportunity.

The ‘is not well known and they preferred to take the risk of losing him for free. Barça and Milan also ran into the Parisian economic muscle, with Wijnaldum and Donnarumma as protagonists. If Mbappé was a hurricane, Rüdiger promises to be a soap opera with many chapters.
Chelsea’s ‘core’ problem
The ‘hot potato’ they have in the Stamford Bridge offices is important. In addition to Rüdiger, Azpilicueta and Christensen end their contract in June and all could leave at zero cost. The clock of the negotiations runs out of sand and the greats of Europe huddle together trying to fish in London’s choppy river. Madrid and PSG are Antonio’s top bidders, but el Barça does not take its eyes off Sub and in the last hours an interest in Danish has transcended, as long as they arrive as free agents. Elite defenders at zero cost, a mess Chelsea must avoid. It will not be easy.
