Antonio Rüdiger (29 years old) lives his last days as a Chelsea player. The central defender has decided that he will not renew his contract, which expires in June, and will go to another club as a free agent. As he has reported The Athletic, next week the new destination of the german player will be knownwho has six suitors.
Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester United and PSG have the defender on their agendasbut the great favorite to get his services is Real Madrid, who has been in talks with the player’s agents for months. However, it has been in recent days when the parties have come closer.
Rüdiger is one of the lowest-paid players at Chelsea, which is why he has been offered an upgrade to his contract with a salary above 200,000 euros per week. However, the German has already decided that he will not continue in the Stamford Bridge team, which he still hopes the arrival of a new owner after the departure of Roman Abramovich.
The sanction of the British government to the Russian tycoon conditioned the day to day of Chelsea, which until the end of May has all its accounts frozen and cannot sign new contracts. A handicap to redirect the negotiation with Rüdiger, who is not the only blue player who will be free this summer: Andreas Christensen has not renewed and César Azpilicueta could still leave.
