Antonio Rüdiger is back in the orbit of Chelsea. The German center-back, currently at Real Madrid, has become the main target for the London club in the upcoming transfer market. Chelsea, which already knows firsthand the impact of the defender from his previous spell at Stamford Bridge, sees in him an immediate solution to the defensive problems that have hampered their performance this season.
Chelsea's defensive line has been one of the most inconsistent this season. With long-term injuries like those of Wesley Fofana, and the poor form of players like Axel Disasi or Benoît Badiashile, the team has lost solidity and consistency at crucial moments. Therefore, the board considers the arrival of an experienced center-back who can lead from the back and bring in expertise as a top priority, something that Rüdiger more than ensures.
Chelsea Wants to Sign Antonio Rüdiger
At 31 years old, the defender not only offers leadership but also a deep understanding of the environment. He was a key figure in winning the Champions League in 2021 under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, and his departure to Real Madrid left a void that was never fully filled. Although his continuity at the Spanish club is not ruled out, in London, they believe his signing is possible, especially if Madrid is open to negotiation.
Chelsea, amidst rebuilding their squad with a mix of youth and experience, believes that Rüdiger's return can make a difference in their goal of competing for titles again. Meanwhile, they also consider other options like Dean Huijsen, but the German's name carries the most weight in the offices of Stamford Bridge. Now, the ball is in Real Madrid's court.
