What's new

Antonio Rudiger

If he waits United become an option, Ralf knows Toni's brother, his agent well apparently.

 
As expected PSG are said to have offered him a huge deal, 7mill net per year. I hope he finds a deal he is happy with, with an actual real football club.

I rate Rudi and as much as I think he's talented, career wise, I think he'd flop at a new club, especially if they don't play a similar way to us.

Never really rated him under Conte, Sarri or Frank. Seems like Tuchel was the one that turned him into a world beater. Think for himself it'd be risky going to a new club

I think we still have a chance to keep him at the bridge. I am not convinced we need to match Real's wages. Obviously we will need to improve on our offer to Rudiger but if he wants to stay then hopefully a compromise can be reached.

Several different sources report Toni wants a deal to make him the highest paid defender in the PL.

The current highest paid defender in the league is Raphael Varane at 340k a week. No way we pay Toni close to that, it would make him our top earner even matching it.

 
He's good but he's not 350k/wk good. If he wanted 250k instead, I'd say sign the papers immediately

Where have you read that? 

The Athletic are reporting today he rejected our offer of £140k per week which wouldn't even make him one of the top 10 players at the club, which given his current importance to the team I can understand why he feels he is worth more. From the same article

"But before anyone gets too excited, it doesn’t sound like Chelsea are close to matching Rudiger’s demands — a four-year deal worth between £180,000 and £200,000-a-week.

Obviously, he will expect a signing-on bonus from his next deal, whoever it is with, too. But reports he is looking for a fee that will mean he effectively gets £400,000-a-week have been dismissed."

 
If he wants £200k a week if feels like an absolute no brainer. To replace him we’d have to pay a new guy that plus a massive transfer fee. I get that we generally don’t offer long contracts to people his age but it seems daft not to at 29 

 
Agree with this, he is totally worth the £200k a week he asks for. We simply need to sign him up to a new contract. Not only we'd miss Rudi the footballer, but his leadership skills are second to none in our squad. If you'd have told me a couple of seasons back that Rudiger (the ticking bomb at that point) will become a vital part of our squad and probably the most influencial voice on the pitch, all this backed up by his faultless performances, I'd have considered it madness that no medication is able to cure. Right now, Rudiger and Thiago Silva bring the same leadership that JT used to bring, Ramos used to bring at Madrid etc.

I forget the rag that said it but Skysports have also had their transfer expert say it.

 
Now apparently United are favorites as RR let Toni's brother know they will pay him more than Varane and make him the highest paid defender in the league.

Can't see him ditching us to go to manure.

Are UK clubs even allowed to negotiate and offer pre contracts to him at the moment? I thought he was only free to negotiate with foreign clubs?

Nope they cannot.

But a quite word here of what he would get if he waits through his agent, of course that would not happen either eh?

 
We absolutely can not afford to let him go under any circumstances. He has speed, never gets beaten on a one on one, good in the air, and most importantly has that agression that gets the team and crowd going. We absolutely must give him 200k a week, it would cost us 60m to replace him plus whatever wages a 60m player commands. Would be a shocking error to lose him.

Fully agreed. I think the problem is the daft thing that clubs see a contract renewal differently from a new signing. If they considered the negotiations as if it was a new player on a free transfer the wages would be agreed easily. That, in effect, is the position with Rudiger. 

I wouldn't just be signing him on again. I'd be making him captain and also asking him to rock up on YouTube with a video of him sh*tting on a Spurs top. I reckon he is up for that.
