TA: Rudiger doesn't see himself as a target for Real Madrid, his negotiations with Chelsea continue

The Athletic reported on January 13 that Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern all need to wait until this summer to have a chance to sign Rudiger, and his contract extension negotiations with Chelsea have not completely stopped.

Despite media claims that Real Madrid are The most likely next to Rudiger and willing to meet Rudiger's salary requirements, The Athletic understands that this is not the case, and ThatDeger himself does not think so. The reason is that Real Madrid's current centre-back combination of Alaba and Militão is solid, and Real Madrid are chasing Mbappe and Haaland this summer, and these two strikers will definitely get a higher salary.

Chelsea offered Rudiger a contract for £140,000 a week in August last year, but Rudiger did not accept it, with his personal salary expectations ranging from £180,000 to £200,000.

Rudiger's brother and agent, Sahr Senesie, has a close relationship with Chelsea director Gravnoskaya, and the two sides have met in the past few weeks and achieved positive results, although Chelsea have not yet offered a higher offer, but the negotiations are still continuing. This is mainly due to the fact that Rudiger has developed a fairly close relationship with manager Tuchel, who has played his best under Tuchel over the past 12 months.
