Chelsea eyeing free agent deal for Real Madrid star
Antonio Rüdiger, currently playing for Real Madrid, has drawn renewed interest from his former club Chelsea ahead of next season. The London side is reportedly monitoring the defender’s situation in Spain as his contract nears its end.
Rüdiger’s current agreement with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2026. Although discussions over a potential renewal have been ongoing for some time, no final decision has been made between the player and the club.
Meanwhile, teams from around the world, including several from the Saudi Pro League, are said to be interested in the 32-year-old centre-back.
As reported by Marca, Chelsea are closely following the progress of Rüdiger’s contract talks with Real Madrid, considering a possible reunion with their former defensive mainstay.
The Blues are believed to be seeking reliable and experienced options to strengthen their defense, which could make Rüdiger’s return a realistic target for next summer.
