Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger, is set to leave the club next year.<\/p>\n

SportBILD reports the German has decided to play for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

However, Rudiger\u2019s agent seemingly has other ideas and wants to open talks over a move to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The player\u2019s current contract expires at the end of this season and it is believed he is demanding as much as \u00a3290,000 a week to agree to fresh terms at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

And despite his importance to Thomas Tuchel, that seems far higher than Chelsea are prepared to spend.<\/p>\n

Rudiger has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich but has set his heart on a move to Spain.<\/p>\n

Real see the signing of Rudiger on a free transfer as an \u201copportunity not to be missed\u201d. As such, they are reportedly ready to submit an approach for him from January 1, when he is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement.<\/p>\n
