Antonio Rudiger

Rudiger's a very strange man at times 😆

 
The Athletic revealed earlier this month the Germany international is now looking for a salary in the region of £225,000-a-week to remain at Stamford Bridge.

It is understood Rudiger, who is one of the lowest paid senior players in the squad right now on £90,000-a-week, had already made up his mind to leave earlier in the campaign. The 28-year-old had been offered around £140,000 to stay in August with the warning the offer wouldn’t get any better than that and he was upset by their stance.

Talks stopped for months until Chelsea reached out in late December to reach a new agreement. There is a bit more positivity on both sides that something could still be finalised but Rudiger feels the hold-up so far has been caused by the club.

After being asked what it will take for him to stay, the centre half told The Athletic: “I feel great here, I have always said it. I think the way I play you can see that I’m happy here. But there are also other people who have to make decisions.”

 
Rudigier has developed so much thi year. His long game ball is as good as Luiz;s now. Really gives us more attacking options. 

 
Yes, beautiful long diagonal passes, and so close to a ‘40 yards out’ goal; that would have been something , like Alex’s thunderbolt goal of years past.

If Rüdiger had doubts about leaving, today's events may have given him a nudge. He might not be the only one trying to find a new employer with a better life expectancy than Chelsea's. 

 
well unless we're sold very quickly, he basically has no choice but to leave. this is all really tragic to be honest

Probably for the best when Marina does leave, as this deal (especially if he ends up at United) will come back to bite and it could have all been wrapped up before the storm. We’ll look back on this one and it will hurt, disasterclass from the board.

Utd are in a real mess and so far away from competing. The only reason any quality player will be going there presently will be for money. They don’t even have a manager.

 
We are not the only team likley to lose a good player, Liverpool have an issue with Salah allegedly wanting a 5 year contract at 400k per week.

 
If he's heading to Juventus, I can live with that.

Would have been annoyed seeing him join another English club.

Surprising they can offer large wages. He was previously in Italy with Roma, maybe that appeals to him to go back.
