Real Madrid want to sign Chelsea defender

14 October 2021 - 20:43

Real Madrid have earmarked Antonio Rudiger as one of their top transfer targets, according to Marca.

Chelsea consider £39m deal for Lens midfielder

Chelsea ready to battle Arsenal for Brentford star?

The German has entered the final year of his contract, but he has yet to negotiate a new deal with the Blues.

He can sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January, and Los Blancos are keen to open up negotiations with him.

The Madrid giants signed David Alaba on a pre-contract agreement from Bayern Munich earlier this summer.

They plan to do the same with Rudiger. He is open to a new challenge elsewhere if the Blues don\'t meet his demands.

The former Roma man wants around £200,000-a-week to extend his stay, but the Blues have refused to meet his requirements.

The centre-back does not feel valued by the hierarchy, and could leave them on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.

Real Madrid are not alone in the player\'s pursuit. Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also among his admirers.
