German media revealed that Manchester United have joined the ranks of Chelsea centre-back Rudiger, whose contract extension with the club has encountered obstacles and has attracted the attention of many giants.
Rudiger's contract expires next summer, but Chelsea are reluctant to meet their weekly salary requirements, so the 28-year-old German iron guard has already approached Real Madrid, and it is said that the two sides are talking happily and are likely to complete the transfer. According to the current rules, Real Madrid only need to wait until January to initialize with Rudiger and complete the introduction of free transfers in the summer window next year.
However, Germany's Sky Sports reported that Manchester United now also wants to join the competition and give full play to the characteristics of "price-raising united". Rudiger's treatment requirement, according to the British media, is an annual salary of 10 million pounds, which is equivalent to less than 200,000 pounds a week, while Chelsea's new contract offer, although the contract period is up to 5 years, but the annual salary is at least 3 million pounds lower.
For United, Rudiger's request for such treatment is nothing at all. In the Red Devils, substitute goalkeeper Dean Henderson has a weekly salary of £120,000, and today's substitute strikers Anthony Martial and Cavani are paid £250,000 a week. As a result, United could not understand Chelsea's insistence and was willing to fully meet Rudiger's salary requirements.
Britain's "Daily Mirror" has disclosed that Rudiger's extension to Chelsea is a price, if he leaves the team for free to transfer to other teams, then his conditions will be greatly improved, when the German centre-back hopes to get a weekly salary of 350,000 pounds or even 400,000 pounds! But Chelsea and team reporter Simon said that this statement is pure speculation, and Rudiger's request is only 180,000 to 200,000 pounds. If it is this number, Manchester United can easily agree without any obstacles.
Rudiger has played very well this season, scoring two goals in 15 Premier League rounds, making him one of the strongest centre-backs in the Premier League this season. In the last round of the Premier League, Rudiger twice won penalties for Chelsea with a centre-forward-style protector. If Chelsea are unable to renew their contract, Real Madrid are most confident of getting him, With Rudiger himself hoping to play in Spain, while Bayern Munich in Germany and Paris Saint-Germain in France have also expressed interest.
Manchester United manager Ronnick also has a certain relationship with Rudiger, who has coached Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, and Rudiger moved from Stuttgart to Roma in 2015. However, now that United already have centre-backs such as Maguire, Varane, Lindelof and Eric Bai, whether they still need to compete for Rudiger is another question.
The Daily Mirror also revealed that Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has planned a grand wedding next Summer with his 27-year-old fiancée Fern Hawkins in the south of France. They had already sent pink wedding invitations to friends and family, and there was a lavish pool party the day after the wedding.
It is reported that Maguire's wedding will be held at a castle in Burgundy, France, and her sister Daisy will serve as a bridesmaid with Megan Davidson, the wife of England goalkeeper Pickford. Fern, who has been with Maguire for 10 years and has been engaged in 2018, is thrilled to be married in such a romantic location.
Maguire's performance at Manchester United this season has not been stable, many believe he should lose the main position, if Manchester United can really get Rudiger, then the £80 million iron guard position will definitely be affected. Originally, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer planned to renew His contract with Maguire and raise his weekly salary to £250,000, but after he left school, the negotiations have been put on hold for the time being.
