Antonio Rudiger ’s agent is said to have “called” Real Madrid over a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season, according to reports. The Chelsea defender is set to become a free agent in the summer, with his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring.
The 29-year-old has been a key figure under Thomas Tuchel since he arrived at the club, playing as one of three centre-backs in the German’s system of choice. The formation allows for him to be aggressive in the press, often defending on the front foot.
The manager said back in January that he trusts the club and the defender to reach a new agreement. Tuchel said: “It's in good hands because I trust the club 100% and have trust in my player, so it's a no problem situation for me. He's a guy who needs to trust you, he needs to feel the connection, he needs to feel the trust and he wants to feel it by minutes and actions.”
