Let him go.
It's been going on too long for me, lets see if he can find a good move.
Silva, Chalobah, Sar maybe Kounde, James can also play as a CB.
There are options, don't like this feeling of being held to ransom.

Toni has an offer worth 400k a week from PSG and also a better offer from Real that us.
This is the trend we are seeing, players know they can get better deals running down their contracts and netting really high signing on fees too.
I would not be surprised at all if Jorgi and Kante do the same in a year. Every chance Paris slaps 500k a week offer to Kante.

That is just pure incompetence from Granovskaia if thats true.
Finally giving in to the demands Rudiger would have signed on half a year ago, AFTER he's been allowed to talk to clubs on the continent and been offered a lot more than 200k.
Probably pissing away a huge asset with an extreme lack of foresight.

Negotiations have been ongoing since October. But Rudi was biding his time as this will be his last big payday. I don't resent him for trying to earn as much as he can. We can't break our structure for him. We didn't do it even for Hazard even though he was the highest paid at that time.
If PSG are offering 400k+, by all means he can leave.

I don't blame footballers one bit for cashing in on their asset.
While 200k compared to 400k is very unlikely to see Rudiger himself live paycheck to paycheck anytime soon it could be the difference between setting up 3 generations of his family or 4.

Maybe I’m the only one but I don’t think he is leaving. He’s spoke about his sons being born in London and loving it here, so he probably wants to stay.
I think he’s pushing Chelsea as far as he could before accepting. After all he said he’s doing what’s best for his family and maybe he actually wants 200k a week. A lot of reports are saying an offer closer to 200k a week, not actual 200k. For all we know, he could be 20/30k away from signing.

If he’s got better offers from PisSG or Real Madrid, for god’s sake man, go to Madrid, at least they are proven winners and not just a bunch of whingeing losers. But, he’s never going to be as loved as he is here in any of those two teams.
Try 2 seasons ago during the Lamps era. Personally would have sold him after the CL win, he is clearly taking the piss
No he doesn’t! They have both called off negotiations because of his demands. That is why he has come back to the table, and declared his love for London.
You can’t allow him & Christensen to set a precedent and demand ridiculous wages by running down their contracts. What happens when James & Mount decide to do the same, and start demanding £200k/w? The club’s commercial revenue growth has slowed down, and we aren’t pulling enough money in through the gates because of our small stadium compared to our rivals. Our wages are already spiralling out of control.

We don't actually have a wage structure though. The club pretend it does perhaps but then they broke it just six months ago to sign Lukaku on massive wages.
Not to mention handing Werner & Havertz nearly £300k a week contracts or Kepa being the second highest paid goalkeeper in the league.
You can't then turn around and expect far better and far more important players to sign for less than what the reserves are earning. This will be a problem when it comes to Mount and James and the others contracts too. You can bet your house they will ask for similar wages to Werner & Havertz, at least.
Granoviskaia have good qualities but she's got a lot to answer for in term of strategy, financials and player logistics the last few years in my opinion. We've got the second highest wage bill in the league and over the last three years we've lost over £200 million pounds and we are entirely dependant on selling players to have the funds to bring new ones in these days.

So Marina will off £200,000.01 which will be her final offer unless he rejects it then she will immediately return with an improved offer.

Well said.
If we actually had a Director of Football, I'd bet good money they would have been fired for their transfer and contract negotiation "performance" from 2017 to date ... and the DoF would be taking the scouting department with them ...
We actually do have a wage structure. What you could argue is a part of those wages should be performance related; goals & assists for forwards, and cleans sheets for your defence. An increase in wages is part of incentivising players to move clubs because of increased competition for their services, and it isn’t limited to your underperforming Lukaku’s, Werner or Havertz. We are also paying Chiwell 2.5x his Leicester’s wages & Mendy 3x is Rennes wages.
Come renewal time just because Kepa moved for bigger wages which is connected directly with his transfer fees and competition for his services, Mendy can’t demand parity with him. The market just doesn’t work that way. A large part of the appeal for Rudiger’s services by his suitors will be the lack of transfer fees, but there is a limit to which they will go wage wise. If the rumoured €300k/w+ wages had been offered to him by any club, you can be rest assured he would have announced his transfer.

There was zero competition for Kepa. Real was interested for a time but moved on. And let's not justify his salary just because we foolishly decided to pay £71 million for him. That's just another wrong on top of the first wrong.
And what is our wage structure if I may ask?

More and more sources reporting were getting close to the £200k a week contract Rudi wants. I see it happening. Think we lose one of Cesar and Andreas, potentially 2 but not all 3 including Toni
