    Rudiger admits new Chelsea contract talks suspended

    Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger admits new contract talks have been suspended.

    Rudiger’s current deal expires at the end of the season.

    He told the Guardian: “The most important thing is that I feel happy here. I think anyone can say that.

    “The renewal? On the contractual situation I speak with the club.

    “I said we would speak after the European Championship and there was a meeting between Marina Granovskaia and my agent. Nothing has changed, but I have nothing to dealing with all the speculations about my future. I don’t think about it, I’m focused on what I’m doing.”

    Antonio Rudiger leaving Chelsea for one of these 4 clubs

    Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is demanding €12m-a-year to sign a new contract.

    Cadena SER says clubs across Europe have been informed the German’s personal demands by intermediaries.

    Italian transfer expert Gianni di Marzio revealed: “Rüdiger is talking to Juventus, Man City, Tottenham and even PSG who still need a defender.

    “It’s difficult for him to sign a new contract. He will join one of the four named teams.”

    Indeed, it’s suggested Chelsea have already informed Rudiger they won’t up their last offer – which falls well short of what his camp are seeking.

    Maguire currently earns £189,000-a-week, with his contract running until the summer of 2025.

    Given how highly is regarded at Old Trafford, United are prepared to offer Maguire wages of £300,000-a-week.

    United are eager to tie Maguire down to a new five-year deal and have approached the defender as they look to start early negotiations.

    The centre-back has made 114 appearances for United since he joined for £80million from Leicester in 2019, a move that made him the world’s most expensive defender.

    PSG offering Mbappe €225m contract to reject Real Madrid

    PSG are offering Kylian Mbappe a contract worth a staggering €225 million to stay in Paris.

    Mbappe’s current deal expires in June and the France striker is a priority target for Real Madrid and their president Florentino Perez.

    For the moment, Mbappe has offered no hint of a willingness to consider new terms with PSG, though there’s hope in Paris the new offer will bring him to the table.

    Okdiario’s football chief Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito, revealed: “They will give him 45 million net per season, which amounts to 225 million.”

    Mbappé would become the highest paid player in a squad that includes stars like Leo Messi or Neymar, so making clear that PSG’s board is firmly committed to making him the key personality in their current Galacticos project.

    Lacazette rules out signing new contract at Arsenal

    Premier League outfit Arsenal are preparing to sell Alexandre Lacazette in January.

    The frontman is showing no inclination to sign a new contract at the club, per football.london.

    Lacazette’s present deal expires in the summer, which would mean he can leave Arsenal on a free transfer.

    The Gunners could now be ready to cash in on Lacazette and fellow striker Eddie Nketiah in January.

    They are showing a keen interest in Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak as a replacement.

    The Swedish frontman has a release clause of €70 million, which means Arsenal would have to raise significant funds to secure his signature in January or next summer.

  • Chelsea continue Rudiger contract talks

    Chelsea continue Rudiger contract talks

    Chelsea haven’t given up securing Toni Rudiger to a new contract.

    However, Italian transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting negotiations between the two parties are continuing.

  • Rudiger ready to quit Chelsea, demanding a bank-busting contract

    Rudiger ready to quit Chelsea, demanding a bank-busting contract

    Antonio Rudiger is ready to leave Chelsea for a bank-busting contract.

    The Mirror says Rudiger is set to make himself one of the highest paid defenders ever with a £400,000-a-week pay packet abroad.

    The 28-year-old Chelsea defender, one of the most influential figures within the European Champions’ ranks, is out of contract at the end of the season.

    Bayern Munich and Juventus, famed for snapping up top-class stars on free transfers, are both keen on his services and are understood to have a monster pay packet waiting once negotiations with foreign clubs are allowed to begin in January.

    Fans favourite Rudiger is keeping his options open after being offered a new deal by Chelsea worth just £130,000-a-week. Striker Romelu Lukaku, the same age as the centre-back, is currently being paid £350,000-a-week.

    Despite Rudiger’s key role in landing the Champions League in May – Chelsea lifted the trophy with the best defence in the competition – the deal was offered to his representatives post-season with a deadline of the end of the summer to agree.

    Rudiger’s camp stood their ground and are now ready to listen to offers directly with rival European clubs at the Club World Cup in January which is expected to be taken away from Japan and moved to Abu Dhabi.

  • Why I chose to pen new City deal – Fernandinho

    Why I chose to pen new City deal – Fernandinho

    Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho admits he came close to leaving Manchester City.

    The veteran penned a new one-year deal this summer.

    Fernandinho told FourFourTwo magazine: “I was quite close to leaving – and that’s the truth. There was so much on the table to analyse, I was in deadlock.

    “That made me leave the decision to when last season was finished.

    “First, my priority was to have my mind 100 per cent on the team. Then I negotiated with only one team apart from Man City, which was Athletico Paranaense. They made a proper offer to me.

    “My wife and I were like, ‘If we go back to Brazil, we will have this; if we stay in England, we will have that’. When City offered me a new contract, we spent a few days at home weighing up both possibilities.

    “One of the key factors that made us stay is that we are applying for British citizenship, but it is also a wonderful feeling to captain this club. I take so much pride in it.”
