After spending five seasons at Chelsea, Antonio Rudiger will leave the London club in the summer upon the expiration of his contract and will head to Spain to join Real Madrid.
The deal is very close according to Msport247 and the Blues have identified his replacement, who will be flying in the opposite direction.
Sevilla’s Jules Kounde has long been a target for the Blues and it is likely that Tuchel would have signed the Frenchman anyway, even if Rudiger stayed, but that’s not the case anymore and the 23-year-old will replace the German at the heart of the Chelsea manager’s defence.
Chelsea will pay €60million for the Sevilla centre-back, plus add-ons, which are normally performance-related, reports Msport247 and this would be a huge signing for Tuchel’s side for the new campaign.
