Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp have agreed that any club would be lucky to sign Antonio Rudiger on a free deal in the summer transfer window. The Sky Sports pundits stressed how much of a miss the 29-year-old will be for Chelsea ahead of next season.
Rudiger has been 'excellent' for the Blues since Thomas Tuchel took over at Stamford Bridge, winning the interest of Real Madrid. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish giants have reached a verbal agreement with the Germany international over a contract with the club.
The report adds that, while nothing is signed yet, it will be announced soon. Rudiger's contract at the Santiago Bernabeu is said to be a long-term deal, with final details to be discussed.
