According to reports, Antonio Rudiger is very dissatisfied with Chelsea as they have failed to improve on their recent offer on a new contract.
Antonio Rudiger has been a key figure and leader at the back since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel and played a key role in Chelsea winning the UEFA Champions League. Chelsea had the best defensive record in the competition last season.
Despite his importance in the Chelsea squad. He is out of contact in just 9 months. Rudiger’s current contract expires in summer 2022 and he is allowed to talk to other clubs in January. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on bringing in the German defender on a free transfer.
Chelsea’s new contract offer has been on the table since the start of the season. But according to reports, Antonio Rudiger is demanding upwards of £400k a week from Chelsea to sign a new deal. This £400k a week contract would see him become the highest earner at Chelsea and one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
Rudiger and his agent felt disrespected and underappreciated by Chelsea’s latest contract offer worth just £130,000 a week. While star signing Romelu Lukaku who is the same age as Antonio Rudiger earns around £350,000 a week.
