Live Bar April 19, British media The Athletic said that Chelsea defender Rudiger hopes to decide his future before the end of the month.
Chelsea are currently in the process of buyout negotiations, so the club can not negotiate a contract extension with Rudiger, although the acquisition negotiations are progressing rapidly, but the new owner of the team will not be confirmed as soon as May, if Rudiger insists on deciding on the future at the end of this month, Chelsea will not be able to complete the renewal with him.
According to the British media, Rudiger's insistence is not unreasonable, because when the acquisition is over, the player may not be able to determine the attitude of the new boss, and in the final weeks of the season, the player will also have the risk of injury affecting the contract negotiations.
Rudiger now earns £90,000 a week, one of the lowest-paid first-line players in the team (Cheek's weekly salary is £150,000), and the British media said the player had previously decided to leave the team, but after Chelsea re-proposed a contract extension last December, the negotiations between the two sides have been in a very positive state, until more than a month ago, Abramovich was sanctioned.
Team manager Tuchel has made it clear to Chelsea executives and players that he wants Rudiger to stay in the squad for the new season, and the gratitude of Chelsea fans to Rudiger during each game has also impressed the players. If it weren't for the sanctions against Abramovich, the two sides would have agreed to renew their contracts, and Rudiger would have been offered a contract extension for £200,000 a week, which would have made him the highest-paid defender in the history of the team.
At present, Barca, Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in Rudiger, and Lonnick also supports Manchester United in signing the German centre-back, but the team's transfer plan may change with the addition of Tenhach. At present, in the transfer market, Rudiger is the one who holds the initiative, because there are very few players who are as experienced and powerful as he is, and do not need the team to pay a high transfer fee.
