‘Exit talk surfaces: as Roman Abramovich gets ‘angry’ at Chelsea player after latest personal decision
It’s so hard to see Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich gets angry easily on things, but seems one of the Chelsea player is really getting him upset.
However, according to latest reports, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is upset with German defender Antonio Rudiger. The Chelsea centre-back is in the final year of his contract with the Blues.
He is reportedly demanding €10 million per year in his new contract, something Chelsea are not ready to agree to. It has created a standby that has grabbed the attention of other clubs.
Rudiger has become one of the best defenders in Europe under the coaching of Thomas Tuchel. His rising stock has come with complications in the form of a contract extension.
The German believes he is worth more and hence unwilling to agree to a lower-wage contract. Other clubs are in the knowledge of the fact that Rudiger’s expiring contract next summer will allow them to sign him for free next year.
Non-English clubs can also sign a pre-contract with the Chelsea defender in January itself. Real Madrid are believed to be leading that race.
Meanwhile, Rudiger’s desire to prioritize money over the success at Chelsea has upset Blues owner Roman Abramovich. He is unhappy with the defender’s outlook on the situation.
