The January transfer window is just a few hours from opening and there will be alot of rumours about who Chelsea will sign, but the most shocking reports so far have claimed the Blues are exploring the possibility of re-signing Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer from Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
Rudiger ended his five-year stay with CHELSEA to complete a move to the Bernabeu back in 2022 and the 32-year-old defender has proven to be a great piece of business for the La Liga giants and has become a real fans favourite at the club.
In that time, Rudiger has made 163 appearances in all competitions for Madrid and helped Los Blancos win eight pieces of silverware, including the 2023/24 Champions League trophy, but the German is out of contract in the Spanish capital next summer and there is some uncertainty surrounding the big mans future, with a host of top clubs keeping close tabs on developments.
Spanish newspaper AS report that Rudiger has ‘several options’ on the table should he fail to reach an agreement to extend his stay with Madrid beyond the end of the current season, and that Chelsea are very interested in bringing him back to the club.
Chelsea did not really want to let Rudiger leave the club back in 2022, but with all the issues that the club are having in that back-line, reports have claimed that Enzo Maresca wants to dd some much needed leadership and experience to that back-line.
IcFootballnews says…
CHELSEA like to buy young, they like to sign players that will be a long-term investment, but having that experience in the side will make those younger players better in the long-run.
If the reports are true and the club wants to sign Rudiger, he will be brilliant to have in the dressing room for a season or two, he is a winner, a leader and a massive person to have around in that dressing room.
He may not play much, but he would be welcomed back by many Blues fans that is for sure guys, but money talks and that switch to Saudi Arabia may be more realistic.
