For the German defender, who is expiring his contract with Chelsea, a four-year net worth 7 million per season is ready

THE SCENERY

For a couple of months now it was clear that the former Roma scorer (sold in 2018 for 35 million euros) had decided to live a new experience. The recent sanctions against Roman Abramovich have done the rest: by now Marina Granovskaia no longer has the powers to possibly extend the contract to the German national, according to the restrictions imposed by the English government. For a long time there has been talk of Rudiger’s flirtation with Real Madrid, the Spanish press also indicated the player’s required figures: 8 million net for the next four years. But in Madrid they took time. This has favored the Juventus strategy which, on the other hand, provides for a significant investment in the role, in consideration of the age limits of captain Giorgio Chiellini.

TAX ASSIST

Juventus is also helped by the well-known Growth Decree: with the payment of half of the fees on the engagement, it can compete with the big names in Europe. This advantage also applies to Bayern Munich, who are limited by an iron cap in the salary pool. The dialogue with the Juventus managers has come to life: we are now in the process of drafting the inevitable details (including commissions). So there is still work to be done to shape the actual agreement. But there is optimism about the outcome of the Continassa deal, considering that there are already many meeting points. Starting with the length of the new (four-year) contract with a salary that touches 7 million net, that is to say, guaranteeing the quota now established for Dusan Vlahovic and Paulo Dybala, if the Argentine accepts the three-year proposal from Arrivabene and Cherubini. In this regard, it should be noted that the 7 million net with the tax discount entail a gross cost of 10.5 million for the company owned by the Agnelli family. It can be deduced that these numbers involve relatively bearable costs, considering the technical value of the reigning world champion with the Chelsea shirt. In short, the negotiation is at a rather advanced stage, although relaunches by powerful rivals cannot be excluded. But the latest insights allow us to understand how much the work of the Juventus management was important in capturing the player’s consensus. Now the last lap begins and in Turin they are convinced that this overtaking could be the decisive one.
