Its not his agent anymore.

Madrid apparentlyBayern?
Don’t think they will give him the financial package he wants, Real Madrid seems the most likelyBayern?
Knowing Florentino as I do, I don't think he would be comfortable signing another veteran CB on big wages. He let two of them go in Ramos and Varane and signed Alaba. I rather see a promising and young CB filling the third slot or Nacho keeping that role and a youngster from the academy (Rafa Marin?) having the fourth slot.
The club is very well managed as it is to start doing Bartomeuesque moves.
I would expect Bayern to match the alleged wages (200k pw) but I don’t know if they are in for him and - after all - it is Real that comes knocking.Don’t think they will give him the financial package he wants, Real Madrid seems the most likely
Allegedly even £10m net(!) per annumApparently we offered a £10m per annum contract....does this not worry anybody else slightly?
If it's true, it really indicates to me we haven't learnt much from the last decade.
Before everybody jumps down my throat, I rate Rudiger, but I'm not convinced at all by offering long-term, high-salary deals to 29yo players.

You will sign him, as Militao and Alaba are your only two good CBs. When Nacho has to step in when of the two is injured, you are in trouble. Unless you have a potentially top young CB currently somewhere in the reserves or loaned out, which i dont think, you will sign someone this summer.
I don't think he'll hit the heights he reached under Tuchel at another club. He'll be a decent serviceable player for the rest of his career with his peak being 2021.
I think Madrid missed having a red card magnet with Ramos leaving so maybe Rüdiger is being brought in to keep up with traditions?He’s the sort of living on the edge defender that will become an absolute fecking liability the instant he loses a yard.

He's literally never been red carded for Chelsea?
History... He got sent off 4 times while playing in Germany, twice while playing for Roma. Not exceptionally much from the beginning but noticable, and he clearly matured over time.Yep, no idea at all what his comment is about

As gutted as I am to see Rudi leave, he really isn’t the same player in a back four. His leadership and character are his main attributes.Our back 4 next season:
Carvajal/Vazquez/Nacho/Militao --- Militao/Nacho --- Rudiger/Alaba/Nacho --- Alaba/Mendy/Nacho/Rudiger/Gutierrez
A player like Nacho gives us so much flexibility and he doesn't even complain when he's on the bench. Solid squaddie.
Marcelo, Bale, and Isco are out of contract this season.Where is madrid finding all this money?
He's definitely been borderline a few times though
I think the living on the edge comment was pretty fair actually.
Is that really necessary? Just because bossman didn't give you an extra wing you're going to get him battered?We need to do everything we can to get this guy on a bossman.
Are you still signing Mbappe? Would a back 3 to make it easier to fit Mbappe and Benz upfront be a possibility?I like him a lot but I'm not entirely convinced of his signing (I wasn't with Alaba either and for the moment he has been a total success).
Are they going to pay him 8/10 net and move Alaba, and are they also going to give Mendy the new contract he is asking for?
If this is the case, it does not fit to have 3 CB of that category + Mendy on the side, and if not, the truth is that I would not like to sell Mendy, unless they value that he gets injured a lot and it is better get funds.
They haven't really spent in the last years, besides Hazard they haven't made any record signings.Where is madrid finding all this money?
But I suppose they've taken the juve route in signing freebies these days.
We really should put more effort into doing the same as there are some good players out of contract.
Yes, it could a possibility, although I don't know if in the long term. It is strange to modify an entire system to fit one or two playersAre you still signing Mbappe? Would a back 3 to make it easier to fit Mbappe and Benz upfront be a possibility?

Wich is exactly why Madrid are in for him. Rudiger is a Ramos replacement in terms of a man who can lead the defence. Also many of you forget that he is playing in a back 4 for the German national team - it depends with whom he is playing.His leadership and character are his main attributes.
Our national team has been mediocre at best for a while, it isn't a good argument to support your point.Wich is exactly why Madrid are in for him.
