While Newcastle United and Manchester United are keeping an eye out for new acquisitions, they are not the only ones as a number of top football clubs across Europe are monitoring the situation.
Antonio Rudiger was signed by Roma for a Euro 9 million fee in 2016. The following year he was signed by Chelsea for an estimated Euro 27 million. He has had a career revival under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea and has been an integral part of the club’s five-player defense strategy.
Antonio Rudiger has enjoyed an impressive career playing for Chelsea. He won the 2017-18 Fa Cup in his first season, followed by UEFA Europa Cup in his second season and UEFA Champions League in 2021. He was a part of the German squad that won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Antonio Rudiger has voiced his desire to stay at Chelsea. However, Chelsea has failed to renew his contract due to government sanctions on club owner Roman Abramovich following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
