On December 13, Beijing time, according to foreign media "The Athletic", Chelsea and Rudiger's contract extension has emerged new obstacles. If Chelsea don't budge, perhaps the end result will be Rudiger leaving the Bernabeu. Previously, Chelsea's contract extension with Rudiger also had problems, but it was finally resolved. However, from the current situation, the contradiction between the two sides this time is difficult to turn around. The reason for this is also Chelsea's tough attitude. It is reported that in order to renew Rudiger's contract, Chelsea gave a weekly salary of 140,000, but Rudiger believed that this price was not enough, and asked for 200,000 yuan in the backhand. Although the difference is only 60,000, Chelsea are not ready to let go.
For Chelsea, Although Rudiger is an absolute mainstay in the team's backline, the team is not prepared to give in on the issue of salary. After all, in the next summer, Chelsea will have a lot of defenders to renew their contracts, and the contracts of people like Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Christensen and others will expire in June. If Chelsea are relieved in The Renewal of Rudiger's contract, it is inevitable that others will be dissatisfied and cause new troubles. So even if Rudiger's form is explosive, the Blues don't want to make an exception.
In fact, as early as August, Chelsea will be in front of Rudiger on a contract extension. However, Rudiger did not respond. In Chelsea's view, although Rudiger's performance is outstanding, the 140,000 weekly salary has been increased by 50% on the original salary, and it is unrealistic to want to raise the salary again. In fact, if put in the past, Rudiger may not have so many thoughts, and will definitely renew his contract with the team obediently. However, since the European Championships, Rudiger's excellent form has made him think that he can get a higher salary, especially if Rudiger himself leaves for free, and can also get a large signing fee!
What's more, if Chelsea does not renew Rudiger's contract, then Rudiger can go to La Liga giants Real Madrid! Such a temptation, Rudiger is difficult to refuse. As we all know, Real Madrid has been linked to Rudiger for a long time, but it is only because of the previous relaxation of Chelsea's relationship with Rudiger that Real Madrid shelved this transaction. Now that Rudiger is once again expected to leave Stamford Bridge, Real Madrid will naturally not miss such a great opportunity. Although 200,000 weekly salary is more unreasonable for Chelsea. But in real Madrid's view, it is not a problem at all. After all, just joined Alaba, Real Madrid gave a salary of far more than 200,000 weekly salary!
If Next Summer Real Madrid can get Rudiger for free, then don't say 200,000 weekly salary, even if you add 100,000, Real Madrid will readily agree. It can be said that if there is no accident, Rudiger will most likely join Real Madrid. Of course, in Chelsea's view, perhaps this is also a foregone conclusion. Now, the team must prepare for Rudiger's departure! It is reported that Chelsea manager Tuchel has identified Sevilla defender Conde and hopes to sign him as a supplement to the team's backline. In terms of strength, Comte may be Chelsea's best choice. In addition, in terms of age, the young French centre-back is only 23 years old now, and there is still a huge room for growth!
Although Chelsea have a crush on Comte, it is not easy to sign him smoothly. Chelsea had been in contact with Conde as early as this summer, when the two sides had negotiated all the conditions and reached an agreement with the player himself. However, at the last minute, Sevilla demanded that Chelsea pay 80 million yuan in liquidated damages before releasing them, and Chelsea did not go. At present, Comte's contract with Sevilla will last until 2024, and it is still not easy for Chelsea to successfully win the French centre-back. In addition, it is not only Chelsea giants who have their eye on Comte, Manchester United are also eager to take it down. Therefore, if Chelsea want to sign Comte, they will also face competition from Manchester United. From the actual situation, signing Conde may not be easier than renewing Rudiger, depending on how Chelsea finally decides.
