Chelsea and Germany defender Antonio Rudiger has finally opened up on his reaction after he discovered that German champions Bayern Munich had an interest in him. The former AS Roma player revealed he is ‘honoured’ to be receiving interest from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
The 28-year-old is set to see his Stamford Bridge contract expire at the end of the season, and he has been delaying his contract extension. Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann was asked recently about Antonio Rudiger, a hand he said: “In principle, I am no fan of talking about players who are under contract with other clubs while we are outside the transfer window.”
Antonio Rudiger’s Future with Chelsea Uncertain
But he, however, still said: “But I’m talking about Rudiger as a football fan.” “Thomas Tuchel has handled him extremely well since taking charge. He was previously on the scrapheap at Chelsea.” “But now, he is one of the most important members of their defence. He has an incredibly good fighting spirit and is a very good defender.”
“I always think it’s great when a player lives up to his job description – and that is always the case with Toni.” Rudiger has now responded to those comments but caveated them by insisting he remains happy with Chelsea for the main time.
Antonio Rudiger said: “My future? I feel good at Chelsea where I am now, so that fits.” “FC Bayern interest honours me because that shows that I’ve done a few things right recently” Early this week, it was reported that Rudiger’s Chelsea contract talks are ‘on hold’ after the German was left ‘disappointed’ by the Blues’ last offer.
It was reported that Rudiger is looking to earn an eyewatering £400,000-a-week which is £50k more than the top earner Romelu Lukaku receives at Stamford Bridge.
