Antonio Rüdiger is being royally rewarded for his supposedly last long-term contract. The 29-year-old central defender will join Real Madrid on a free transfer next season, so the royals can dig deep into their pockets in terms of salary and signing bonus.
According to information from ‘Marca’, it is not yet certain whether Rüdiger will commit to Real for the next four or even five years. His salary is said to be nine million, plus a signing bonus of eight million, designed for four years, so that Rüdiger earns eleven million euros per season.
The farewell to Chelsea has been certain for a few days. The official announcement of Real’s move is expected in the coming weeks. In the future, Rüdiger should form the new defensive bulwark of the Blancos alongside David Alaba (29).
