La Liga: Real Madrid and Antonio Rudiger latest news
Reports say Real Madrid have agreed deal for Antonio Rudiger
Reports in Spain suggest that Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger when his contract expires at the end of the season.
On Sunday, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel told the media Rudiger had failed to agree a new deal with the European champions.
Rudiger has also spoken to Bayern Munich and he was offered a contract worth more than £200,000 to stay at Chelsea.
The 29-year-old is expected to sign a four-year-old deal at the Bernabeu with a medical set to take place in London.
European Super Football understands the various fees that had been demanded by Rudiger's camp proved far too steep for Chelsea.
The reaction to this transfer have been interesting. One Chelsea fan joked after Real Madrid conceded two early goals against Manchester City: "It’s not to late to change your mind @ToniRuediger #CFC"

Rudiger would certainly improve a Real Madrid defence that looks poor at the back.
