Antonio Rüdiger

[Ekeke]

Really good in a back 3 I think, has the pace and strength to come out on top against anyone who tries to pull him wide

 

[Redlyn]

So a huge improvement on our lot then...

That doesn't matter if he's mediocre. ...if he's good enough is all that should count.

 

[Bebestation]

I have seen him being linked to PSG and I am not surprised at all.

For me it's the most disgusting club.

Has all the money in the world but play behind the other clubs back to have players run their contract down and join them.

How long can this continue?

I'm so glad Mbappe is leaving them on a free; showing signs of what the club is like and i hope they struggle to get CL after spending such a crazy amount of money directly to the player and not to their clubs.

 

[Ayoba]

Weird, I thought Tuchel really rated him

 

[Ekeke]

That doesn't matter if he's mediocre. ...if he's good enough is all that should count.

He's a champions league winning CB from only last season and was arguably the most impressive of Chelsea's CBs on the day of the final. He's obviously not mediocre. He was probably in the top 5 CBs in the competition last season

Not a surprise, he was hesitating before the sanctions. And I bet he won’t be the last player to ditch Chelsea..

This had nothing to do with the sanctions, he was holding out for the highest bidder and Chelsea let him go elsewhere.

 

[duffer]

He'd be an idiot if he doesn't wait a couple of weeks to see who takes over at Chelsea.

Is it really that like Juventus outbid Chelsea and other European clubs with (significantly) higher wage bills?

 

[piesel]

Juventus also need to ditch that disgrace they have on the sidelines.

 

[NoLogo]

Always looked like he wanted that sweet joining fee bonus in his own pocket to me. Seems to be the trend among footballers these days anyway. Leave on a free and pocket another €10-20M if you don't cost the club any you join any transfer fee.

 

[United in sin]

He'd be an idiot if he doesn't wait a couple of weeks to see who takes over at Chelsea.

He's been seemingly angling for a move and stalling on negotiations before the sanctions though. It could be he's simply ready for a new challenge away from Chelsea if this prospective deal isn't all about financial gain

 

[kopviolator]

The days of signinng thirty year olds at 400k/week need sorely to be over at this club.

The fans? Harsh

 

[Pintu]

The rumoured salary is not higher than what he was offered at Chelsea. But Juve is giving him a 4 year deal. I don’t think Madrid or Bayern would have given a longer contract.

 

[GledTheRed]

Too right, he plays best in a three to and we don't play a three.

He's also a huge wanker.

....to the Lewa thread.

 

[Bepi]

Valuable addition, if true… yet one or two free transfers are not going to improve us much, whoever the coach.

 

[cotumely]

Nobody else has confirmed it, so will take it with a pinch of salt. It’s also being reported that Juve have agreed terms with Jorginho. However, the report ignores the fact that Chelsea can’t sell any players. Juve also interested in Pulisic and Ziyech. Can’t see where they are getting the money from.

He wants to stay at Chelsea though, it's just about money as the reason he has stalled. Its being reported he actually agreed the wages before we got sanctioned.
It's Christensen who wants to leave for a new challenge it seems.

That makes no sense? If you want to stay you stay surely

Im taking this with a pinch of salt. Dont Juventus still have huge funancial issues? They cant give dybala the wages he wants, but will break their wage structure for rudiger? Nah.

Dybala wants 17M/year and a 5 years contract. He is being offered 14 M gross (7 M net), and Juventus do not want to pay his agent the fees he's been asking for. I think if they manage to permanently offload Ramsey this summer, Dybala will be offered the raise he wants.

The offer extended to Rudiger is thought to be around 6,5 M after-tax (or 10 M gross, using Italy's tax break rules).

I believe that if this is true, Rudiger might be the replacement of De Ligt. There were some rumors he might be sold this summer. De Ligt is also earning a similar figure.

Where would de ligt go? Bayern? Madrid?

 

[Giggsy13]

If Rudiger is off to Juve then we should make a call for De Ligt especially if we name Ten Hag the manager.

Why on earth would a talent like him want to come to utd? We probably wont make CL qualification this season either.

Not when there is uncertainty regarding the takeover.

 

[jakko]

He hasn't joined Juve, so it does make sense.

This makes less sense again

What was your point then?.

 

[TheReligion]

What was your point then?.

That you didn’t have one

 

[jakko]

That you didn’t have one

So why was he still negotiating with the club then and been reported he agreed on the wages before we got sanctioned?.
Why hasn't he signed for another club?.

 

[Mb194dc]

There is a higher chance he'll renew now, presuming a new owner comes in...

They won't want him to leave as their first piece of business. So he'll get 200k a week or whatever he's asking for. His agents aren't stupid, you know...

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

I just can't see him moving to another EPL rival. Unless they are willing to pay silly money

 

[CM]

I don't think De Ligt has exactly covered himself in glory at Juventus. He could well improve but I don't think it's a given we'd be interested either...

I thought he was playing well this season

 

[Devil may care]

Great signing for Juve, I know they are kings of the freebie but I didn't think they'd muster up the best wage package or offer the most glamorous option, I guess Rudiger really wants a Serie A title.

 

[Red4Life_#7]

I saw a stat of him being measured as the fastest player in the premiership. At this point in time anything is an upgrade on Maguire. Selling Maguire for 50-55m and signing Rudiger on a free would be great business.

We should of gone all in for rudiger… been quality for Chelsea recently and massive upgrade on both Maguire and lindelof. Doesn’t have any injury issues either does he?
