According to well-known transfer expert Romano, Chelsea defender Rudiger has reached an agreement with Real Madrid that the player will sign with the club until 2026.
Rudiger's contract with Chelsea expires this summer after much rumours about his transfer. Originally, the player's first choice was to stay in the Blues, but in the current situation of the team, Chelsea were unable to complete the renewal of Rudiger's contract. Coach Tuchel also confirmed in an interview that the German will leave the team on a free date this summer.
Rudiger and Real Madrid had previously been rumored, but at that time, Real Madrid did not accept the bid of the Rudiger team for the annual salary. Contact was then severed for a time. However, in recent days, the Rudiger team and Real Madrid have resumed contact, Rudiger is willing to reduce the salary requirements, and Real Madrid is also happy to promote the completion of the transaction. In the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Chelsea, Rudiger's outstanding performance also made real Madrid's technical department quite satisfied.
Real Madrid released the centre-back duo of Ramos and Varane for many years last summer. It was a very bold decision, after all, to let go of the two main centre-backs at once, in case the right players could not be brought in, then it would be a fatal blow to the team. Later, Real Madrid brought in a visa-free Alaba from Bayern. The Austrian quickly integrated after joining Real Madrid and is now not only a remarkable performance, but has even become one of the indispensable spiritual leaders of the team.
With the introduction of the visa-free Rudiger this time, the reconstruction of the Real Madrid backline is more than half completed. Such two excellent defender players, all won by Real Madrid in the form of a free signing, is indeed an excellent deal.
Looking at the players that Real Madrid let go, Ramos has been plagued by injuries all season in Paris and has a very limited playing time. Varane was also affected by injuries, and after leaving Ramos, the French also exposed their weakness of their own lack of ability to act alone. Ramos and Varane undoubtedly contributed the pinnacle of their careers to Real Madrid. After they gradually went downhill, the Real Madrid management immediately decided to abandon the two men. Now it seems that we have to admire the poisonous vision of real Madrid management, and when it is broken, it is broken. Look at the clubs that have been exploited by the players and understand why Real Madrid has been able to stand at the top of the giants.
