Antonio Rüdiger has blamed his decision to leave Chelsea on ‘a long gap of just nothing’ after talks over a new deal early this season
Chelsea went back with another offer of £230,000 before sanctions were imposed on Roman Abramovich in March. It would have made Rüdiger the highest-paid defender in their history but talks broke down again when the club received demands for a huge signing-on fee for the player and large fees for the 29-year-old’s representatives. Chelsea were unable to resume negotiations after Abramovich was sanctioned and the uncertainty led to Rüdiger accepting Madrid’s offer.
