Following the death of Spanish football journalist Alvaro Montero, Jorginho has admitted that Chelsea will "miss" Antonio Rudiger.
After failing to reach an agreement on a new contract,
Chelseamanager
Thomas Tuchel
stated on Sunday that the center-back will depart the club this summer.
The 29-year-current old's deal with the club expires at the end of the season, and he now appears to be on his way to
Real Madridon a free transfer. According to Montero, who spoke to
Sky Sports News
, "When I asked someone within Real Madrid yesterday, he burst out laughing and said, 'Yes, it's a done deal.'
"Things can change, but the player and the club have an agreement. I assume he was already a Real Madrid player when he scored at the Bernabeu [for Chelsea in the Champions League this month]. Rudiger has been a significant part of Chelsea's recent success, winning five titles with the club, including the Champions League last season.
, a Chelsea teammate, believes the German would be a significant loss to the club if he left at the conclusion of the season. "He's been here a long time, so if he leaves, we'll miss him," the Italian told Sky Sports News.
He has a strong personality and has been quite helpful to us. We've had a lot of fun here; he's a good friend of mine, and everyone at the club, including myself, would miss him if he departs."
The 30-year-old laughed when asked what he will miss most about Rudiger: "His insanity. He makes me laugh a lot; the wonderful part is that we've shared all of his jokes and chuckles together."
