Antonio Rudiger has spoken about his frustrations over Chelsea contract negotiations as he prepares to wave goodbye to Stamford Bridge.
The German was a target of Manchester United after the club learned he was heading for the exit door. United officials had entered exploratory talks with the player’s representatives although a deal never looked likely.
Instead, Rudiger will be jetting off to Real Madrid on a free this summer. With Chelsea still under sanctions, the club are unable to renew, or offer new, contracts.
