After checking with David Alaba Since the formula of signing established players who finish a contract is reliable, Madrid continues to dive into the free agent market. Despite the fact that you have to pay high salaries and transfer bonuses, reinforcing the squad with players with experience in big clubs gives a competitive bonus. In addition, no matter how expensive it is to convince them, it is always cheaper than paying for a transfer. For all this, the Whites already have their next target, the German Antonio Rüdiger, in their sights.
It is by no means an easy addition. At 28, the central defender ends his contract with Chelsea where he is head of defense and champion of the Champions League. Under the orders of his compatriot Tuchel he has become one of the best in the world in his position. The end of his relationship with the London club invites many great Europeans to bid for a footballer who, according to the English press, is asking for a salary from Galactic: 12 million euros per season. Bayern Munich, very interested in signing him, seems to be the number one rival of the whites. Other clubs such as Manchester United or Juventus have shown interest in their situation and their claims for next season. Even Chelsea continues to fight to renew what is one of its stars. But nevertheless, A club has appeared willing to change everything at the stroke of a checkbook: Paris Saint Germain.
As reported image, A few weeks ago there was a meeting between the player’s agent, Sahr Senesie, and Leonardo, PSG’s sports director. The idea is that Rüdiger supports the defense of the Parisians together with Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Ramos (Kehrer seems to have his days numbered). To achieve this, they will use the money trick, knowing that almost no team in the world will be able to offer them the amounts to which they do have access. In Paris they live a cold war with Real Madrid due to the ‘Mbappé case’, exacerbated with the Champions League draw that has matched them in the round of 16. This is another reason to enter the auction: try to destabilize a direct rival in Europe and show that, thanks to that economic power, they are capable of robbing the whites of a footballer in the market.
Despite everything, the outlook is not positive for them. As this newspaper has been reporting and confirms image, the player’s priority is to get to the Bernabéu next season. This is what he has made known to his environment, who has already crossed calls with white managers in the face of a possible offer from January when he will be free to negotiate or even sign with a new club. It must be counted on that in Chamartín more than 30 million wage bill will be released next summer only with players who end their contract (Bale, Marcelo and Isco), which will make it easier to offer them an amount according to their claims and, therefore, reach an agreement. However, the decision is not made by either party. It will be in the coming weeks when his arrival in Madrid could be finalized.
