Antonio Rudiger is set to make himself one of the highest paid defenders ever with a £400,000 pay packet abroad.
The
28-year-old Chelsea defender, one of the most influential figures within the
European Champions’ ranks, is out of contract at the end of the season.
Bayern
Munich and Juventus, famed for snapping up top-class stars on free transfers, are
both keen on his services and are understood to have a monster pay packet
waiting once negotiations with foreign clubs are allowed to begin in January.
Fans
favourite Rudiger is keeping his options open after being offered a new deal by
Chelsea worth just £130,000-a-week. Striker Romelu Lukaku, the same age as the
centre-back, is currently being paid £350,000-a-week.
Despite
Rudiger’s key role in landing the Champions League in May - Chelsea lifted the trophy
with the best defence in the competition - the deal was offered to his
representatives post-season with a deadline of the end of the summer to agree.
Rudiger’s
camp stood their ground and are now ready to listen to offers directly with
rival European clubs at the Club World Cup in January which is expected to be
taken away from Japan and moved to Abu Dhabi.
