According to the Daily Mail, Antonio Rüdiger has rebuffed Chelsea’s latest offer to extend his contract. The German defender will be free at the end of the season.
Notice to interested clubs: one of the best defenders in the world is currently on the market. Become the taulier of the defense of Chelsea under the orders of Thomas Tuchel, Antonio Rüdiger (28 years old) will be free next summer, unless he extends his adventure by then with the last winner of the Champions League. According to the latest information du Daily Mail, the German has reportedly turned down the Blues’ latest offer to extend his contract. While he receives a weekly salary of just under 120,000 euros, his leaders first offered him to receive 165,000 euros per week. Not enough in the eyes of Rüdiger.
Very greedy Rüdiger
Chelsea then revised its offer upwards with a proposal of up to 235,000 euros per week. But there again, Rüdiger would not have been convinced. Discussions are continuing between all parties and Chelsea are said to remain optimistic that they can reach a positive outcome. The club’s staff also knows that this file is considered a priority by Tuchel, who has completely revived Rüdiger in recent months. This season, he has already played 31 games in all competitions, showing himself to be more decisive offensively (three goals, four assists).
“The most important thing is that I feel happy here. Regarding the situation of the contract, I discuss with the club. It does not concern anyone. There were exchanges between Marina Granovskaia (general manager of Chelsea) and my agent . I have nothing to do with all the speculation”, he explained last October in the columns of the Guardian. According to the British media, he would be followed closely by Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or even PSG.
