Antonio Rudiger has taken to social media to say goodbye to Chelsea fans ahead of his summer switch to Real Madrid.
The Blues were desperate to hold on to the German defender, who has evolved into a pivotal player for the Blues under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel. But the Londoners were unable to come to terms on agreement with the 29-year-old - who claimed last week that talks over a new deal went silent for five months.
Rudiger has reportedly penned a pre-contract agreement with Real to join the Spanish giants when his contract at Stamford Bridge officially expires at the end of this month. The powerful centre-half turned out for the one last time during Sunday's 2-1 win over Watford before he penned a touching farewell message on social media.
