Real Madrid is in advanced negotiations for Chelsea centre-back Anthony Rudiger, Mundo Deportivo confirmed.
The Chelsea man has been battling with his club Chelsea over a new contract and it appears the German has set his sights out of Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year old is believed to be demanding over a €12m-a-year salary and Chelsea is not ready to pay that figure.
Bayern, PSG were contenders for his signature but it now seems Madrid is above them in the race.
Rudiger has been the most outstanding performer in the Chelsea back four and his contribution both in defending and in the attack has caught the eyes of European big guns.
With the departure of Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane, Madrid deserves a new centre-back and they are working in the right direction as Rudiger becomes their priority.
