‘He wants Real Madrid move! as Chelsea player wants Madrid move after secret talks with Eden Hazard and Courtois
Antonio Rudiger’s Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season and the German international has stalled on extending his Chelsea contract amid interest from Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich.
However, according to The Telegraph via TribalFootball, Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger has snubbed a pre-contract offer from French club Paris Saint-Germain and prefers a move to Spanish side Real Madrid when he leaves Chelsea in the summer.
The report adds the 29-year-old has spoken with former Chelsea teammates Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard about joining Los Blancos.
Reports in France claims PSG have tabled a pre-contract to Rudiger which is higher than the offer from Real Madrid but the difference isn’t significant enough for Rudiger to give up his dream of playing for the Bernabeu outfit.
Despite Rudiger’s decision play for Real Madrid, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has not given up on convincing Rudiger to stay at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he was working on wooing Rudiger to sign a new contract, Tuchel responded: “I don’t know if taking him for coffee will help… maybe it would push him out!
“He needs to feel it by minutes and by actions. I don’t feel he needs a lot of words and pampering and coffee talks and invitations to dinner, and whatever.
“He is a top professional. This is what he proves and he is very important.”
