Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer after the defender's contract at Chelsea expired. The German said: 'I'm proud to announce that I'll be joining Real Madrid. Rudiger won the Champions League with Chelsea last yearHe will also net a signing on fee that will take his wage significantly north of that figure. The eye-watering financial package is worth significantly more than the £230,000-per-week deal Chelsea were offering him to stay at Stamford Bridge. He joined the Blues from Roma for £29m in 2017 when the west London club were managed by Antonio Conte.
