Real Madrid, the Spanish and European champions in football and Chelsea, said on Thursday that Real Madrid had agreed to sign German international defender Antonio Rudiger in a free transfer deal after the expiration of his contract with Chelsea.
Real Madrid announced that he had linked Rudiger with a contract for 4 seasons, and that he would officially present it to the public and the media on June 20.
Rudiger has been a regular for Chelsea since joining from Roma in 2017.
“I am very excited about all the challenges that await me and I look forward to starting my career with this giant club,” said Rudiger, 29, through his account on the social networking site Twitter.
Chelsea described Rudiger as one of the most motivated players to represent the club in recent years.
