The German center-back Antonio Rüdiger is now a new Real Madrid player. Los Blancos sign the Chelsea footballer at zero cost, whose contract ends on June 30 with the London entity, and repeats the plan of last season when they signed David Alaba in the same way. He signs for four seasons.

Rüdiger, who is 29 years old and stands 190 centimeters tall, turned down Chelsea's successive renewal offers and contacted a number of major European clubs to see which of them could meet his financial needs. After a first round of negotiations, and in the absence of an offer that reached the requested figures, the whites' renewed interest and Carlo Ancelotti's request to the club were the decisive factors in his decision to join Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has signed a footballer who has 50 caps for Germany, has won the Champions League, and has more than proven experience in the Premier League. Carlo Ancelotti's squad has gained a luxurious addition.

The presentation ceremony for Antonio Rüdiger as a new Real Madrid player will take place on Monday, June 20 at 12:00 p.m. at Real Madrid City.
