Since the year 2022 began, and despite the fact that he still has a contract with Chelsea until next June, Antonio Rüdiger is free to negotiate with any club a possible signing. It has been several months since Real Madrid ran as the main candidate and favorite to take over his services, it is not the only team that is in the bid for Antonio Rüdiger. In addition to Chelsea himself, who has offered several long-standing German renewal proposals, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have also taken an interest in the 28-year-old footballer. As reported by the German newspaper image, “There was a meeting between the player’s agent, Sahr Senesie, and Leonardo, PSG sports director”. That is to say, the intentions of the Parisian team are serious. However, Rüdiger is clear: he only wants to wear white.
The Gallic portal Foot Market exclusively publishes that PSG would have made the first formal contract offer to the German defender: 7M euros net per year. The problem for Mauricio Pochettino’s team is that, although the proposal is financially superior to that of Real Madrid, which has not transpired, Rüdiger would be willing to sign with the white box still charging less than in the Parisian capital. And it is that the desire to reach Spain of the still Chelsea footballer is such that, as the British newspaper pointed out Telegraph, he would have already contacted Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois, possible future teammates at Real Madrid and former teammates in the London team. Although economically Paris Saint-Germain may have an advantage over the rest of Antonio Rüdiger’s suitors, his intention to play at the Santiago Bernabéu will be the most important asset to play for the whites.
“It is understood that there have been no further discussions with Chelsea since the club made an offer of around £ 140,000 a week in August,” he reported. The Athletic early december. However, as reported AS days ago, Rüdiger will also have to wait if he wants to end up landing in Madrid, and that is The white team denies, for the moment, the operation since they are very happy with the centrals that they currently have in their squad. In addition, to the good performance of Eder Militao and David Alaba are added the economic pretensions of Antonio Rüdiger himself. Although Chelsea has tried to retain one of the many center-backs (Thiago Silva, Andreas Christensen and César Azpilicueta, in addition to the German) who end their contract in June 2022 so as not to leave the defense to a minimum, the contract of 12M euros (net) per season that he demanded takes him away from London and, who knows, if also from Madrid.
