Paris Ssaint-Germain have tabled a pre-contract offer to Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger.
With his Blues deal expiring in June, Rudiger can now sign a pre-contract with any foreign team.
After talks before Christmas, PSG have now offered Rudiger a deal worth €7m-a-year, says RMC.
Real Madrid are also keen, though are unhappy with the demands coming from the Germany defender’s minders.
It’s been suggested Rudiger has been seeking €11m-a-year from interested clubs.
Real Madrid have distanced themselves from a move to sign Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea.
The German is presently out of contract at the Stamford Bridge club in the summer.
He can sign a pre-contract with a foreign team this month, and leave for nothing at the end of the season.
However, Marca are reporting that Rudiger demanded too high a wage from Real during negotiations.
They have pulled the plug on signing the German, as they are happy with Eder Militao and David Alaba as their first choice defensive pairing.
Rudiger wanted £200,000 per week, and as he would possibly be third choice next season at Real, the Spanish giants felt the deal was too rich to conclude.
Real Madrid players are expecting to be joined by Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.
The Telegraph says Chelsea have been left frustrated during contract talks with Rudiger having failed to make progress and agree fresh terms – the German is said to be demanding double the £140,000 the club are currently offering.
Real Madrid are willing to stump up that salary, the report adds, with the Spanish giant’s squad now believing more than ever that Rudiger will join their ranks next season.
If Rudiger does move to the Bernabeu, he would join former Chelsea stars in Eden Hazard and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois – who both forced moves to the Spanish capital over the last few years.
Both players are likely to give Rudiger a glowing report of life in Madrid, it continues, despite Hazard’s struggles for form and fitness since making his £150million move in the summer of 2019.
Chelsea are intent on keeping Rudiger but are also concerned that they could be held to ransom as they continue negotiating contract, with fears the talks could set a precedent and cause issues in the dressing room.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is targeting PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe to replace contract rebel Antonio Rudiger.
Rudiger’s future has been the subject of speculation in recent months, with the German international’s contract at Chelsea set to expire at the end of the season.
Therefore, with Rudiger potentially leaving in a matter of months, Chelsea could be starting to plan ahead, and it seems that Tuchel is already targeting someone he is familiar with to add to his squad.
The 48-year-old coach is eyeing a reunion with Kimpembe, who he worked with at PSG, as reported by L’Equipe.
The pair spent two years together in France, winning Ligue 1 twice and making the Champions League final in 2020.
Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger admitted frustration after yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Wolves.
The German was part of a back three which nullified Wolves’ threat throughout, limiting them to just one shot on target, but the same could be said for the hosts’ defence in what was a tight and cagey affair in the West Midlands.
“You know our situation, but that point feels like a loss to be honest,” Rudiger said post-match.
“It doesn’t matter about the circumstances and everything. It doesn’t feel good.
“Yes of course it is not easy [preparing in our current circumstances], definitely not. We still had a competitive team out there to do something. We came here to win. We should have provided more chances to score, and if you don’t bury your chances it’s difficult to win away.”
Antonio Rudiger has said that his team, Chelsea will not win trophies with the way they concede easy goals from opponents in recent weeks.
He said they ‘have to address’ their recent trend of giving up ‘easy’ goals after Saturday’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Leeds.
Chelsea managed to beat Leeds United on Saturday, bouncing back from last week’s defeat to West Ham.
Individual errors culminated in two goals scored by the Hammers.
Rudiger, despite the victory against Leeds, feels that Chelsea team are making ‘silly mistakes’ of late and must stop gifting goals to their opponents.
“In terms of mentality, we matched their [Leeds’] game, in terms of quality, no because the goals we conceded were too easy,’ Rudiger told Chelsea’s website.
‘These days we concede a lot of goals which are too easy and we have to address this. If you want to compete for trophies you should not do that type of mistake. We know we need to improve things as quickly as possible.
“We do silly mistakes, we punish ourselves and give away goals. It’s not that the opponents are killing us or outplaying us.
“Obviously we are missing players, this is clear, but I don’t look for excuses. We have a good squad and this is the chance for people now and everyone has to take their chance.”
Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger is fielding offers worth four times what he is currently earning at Stamford Bridge.
