Rudiger eyeing fresh challenge away from Chelsea

Chelsea defender eyeing fresh challenge amid Real Madrid interest

26 September 2021 - 16:15

Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger has his sights on leaving the Blues amid the lack of resolution in contract talks.

  • Chelsea suffer double injury blow ahead of Villa trip
  • Gabriel Magalhaes to sign new Arsenal deal

  • The German has been with the Blues for the past five years, but he could walk out for free when his deal expires next summer.

    The Blues have proposed a new deal worth €6.5m per year, but Rudiger wants around €10m to prolong his stay with the club.

    His agent has already made contact with the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid over a pre-contract deal in January.

    Los Blancos appear most interested in his services, and they could pair him alongside David Alaba for the 2022/23 campaign.

    The La Liga giants are eyeing young recruits in the market, but they are also open to signing players in the prime of their careers.

    Rudiger has been almost ever-present for the Blues in the league since Thomas Tuchel took charge as the head coach in January.

    Tuchel has regularly talked up a new contract for the 28-year-old, but the hierarchy are reluctant to meet the player's wage demands.
