As Chelsea’s situation continues, the future of players like Antonio Rüdiger remains a topic of conversation abroad.
After all, the Germany international is one of the better defenders in the world, and the prospect of getting him on a free is an enticing one for many clubs.
Juventus are among those trying to restructure their defence, which is why they have been linked a fair bit with the Chelsea star.
That being said, his wage demands, while perhaps affordable for the Blues, aren’t quite as accessible abroad, and Calciomercato explain that’s what’s putting off the Serie A side.
While Juventus are ‘interested in Rüdiger’, they also ‘don’t want to overcome certain limits’.
One of the aspects that proves problematic is the ‘€20m commission required by his agents’, seen as ‘too much’, which, added to the ‘€2m distance between supply and demand for the wages’, makes a deal complicated.
At this rate, there’s a good chance Rüdiger stays at Chelsea once the new owners take over, because no one seems ready to accommodate his requests.
