German international defender Antonio Rudiger has been linked with a move away from Chelsea for months now.
The 28-year-old will be out of contract at the end of this season, and he is able to discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs this month.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, and Juventus are all interested in signing the German international, and they have already opened talks with the player’s representatives.
Furthermore, Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick is an admirer of the Chelsea defender. It will be interesting to see whether the Red Devils decide to make a move for the player this month.
Rudiger has established himself as a key player for Chelsea, and he is undoubtedly one of the best centre backs across Europe right now.
The 28-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and whoever manages to snap him up on a free transfer will have a massive bargain on their hands.
The chance to join clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will certainly be a tempting proposition for the Chelsea defender, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
The Blues still have an opportunity to convince him and tie him down to a new long term contract, but they will have to raise their contract offer significantly in order to persuade the German.
According to a report from Sky Sports, Chelsea’s most recent offer was dismissed by the player and his representatives as it was only half of what the club’s top earners make.
The Blues certainly have the means to offer him a lucrative new deal, and it remains to be seen whether they are willing to go the distance in order to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
