In a press release, the Spanish club announced the arrival of the German defender on social media. We read in particular that “Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Antonio Rudiger, who will sign a four-year contract with the club.” The long-awaited Antonio Rudiger has joined Real Madrid’s family, where he will try to repeat his success at Chelsea. Indeed, the player has won the Europa League in 2019, Club World Cup and the European Super Cup in 2022, and the FA Cup in 2018 with the Londoners.
The transfer was worth 60 million euros.
The Berlin native still cost Real Madrid a small amount at the end of his Chelsea contract, which was supposed to pay him a salary, a signing bonus, and a 15 million euro agency fee. Overall, the club spent just under €60 million to find get a new defender. Because David Alaba can also play on one side, the player must form a new Madrid hinge with Eder Militao. With only Nacho Fernandez and Jesus Vallejo as backup defensive options, Antonio Rudiger’s arrival will be extremely beneficial to Real Madrid.
This is the first summer recruit of the season for Madrid, following Kylian Mbappe’s refusal. This season, the Mannschaft pillar has appeared in 34 league games for the Blues, scoring three goals. With one exception, he also appeared in every Champions League match. Antonio Rudiger will shine in La Liga after five seasons at Chelsea, where he clearly hopes to quickly integrate with the recent European champions.
