Antonio Rudiger's agent has accused Chelsea of not trying to keep him at the club.
this summer after his contract with
Chelseawas expired, decided to join
Real Madridon a free transfer.
Saif Rubie who worked on Rudiger's transfer to Real Madrid says Chelsea allowed important players like Rudiger to leave the club.
Rubie has told Talk Sport:
”What if I told you Chelsea, and the old regime, basically made next to no effort to keep the player. At the time he was very happy to stay and potentially be the captain of the club. He was offered a contract that was half the amount Romelu Lukaku were earning.
"Let me confirm this, live on air, the Real Madrid deal was the smallest deal on offer. There was a club in England offering almost double the amount and a club in Europe doubling the amount. I'm not going to discuss the specifics. Everyone knows there was teams interested in this player. He was one of the best in the world."
Rudiger and Andreas Christensen both left Chelsea on free transfers in the summer. Chelsea signed three defenders including Marc Cucurella for £62 million from Brighton, Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly for £34m, and Wesley Fofana for £75m from Leicester.
