Antonio Rudiger is reportedly set to make a decision soon over his Chelsea future which hangs in the balance beyond this coming summer.
Rudiger is out of contract at Stamford Bridge come the summer and some of the biggest clubs across the continent, including the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, are keeping close tabs on his fast escalating situation.
According to a report from The Athletic, it is claimed that the growing uncertainty over who will take over from the embattled Roman Abramovich as the new owner of Chelsea could play spoilsport to the club’s efforts to tie down Rudiger to a new deal.
The 29-year-old Germany international is poised to become of the most in-demand names in the transfer market when he enters free agency ahead of the new season’s start with a host of clubs battling to land his coveted signature.
Real Madrid could emerge as the clear frontrunners for Rudiger with speculation doing the rounds that the Chelsea man has once again attracted attention from his longstanding suitors in the Spanish capital.
