Rüdiger Signs For Madrid 

According to super Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano he has claimed that Chelsea and German footballer Rudiger is switching allegiance to Spain, Real Madrid to be exact “everything is now done” between Real Madrid and Antonio Rüdiger, and while the official announcement will not come until after the season, the “deal has been completed”. And the contract is expected to run till 2026.

Romano reported a couple weeks ago that Rüdiger had agreed personal terms on a four-year contract with the Spanish champions and Champions League finalists, but if there was any hope of changing his mind then, it doesn’t sound like there is any left now.

As confirmed by head coach Thomas Tuchel, the 29-year-old made up his mind to leave a few weeks ago, not long before we finally found some clarity in terms of our ownership situation. Unfortunately, Todd Boehly & Co will have to now concentrate on finding a replacement for Rüdiger, rather than trying to convince him to stay (and also Andreas Christensen).
