Barcelona are eyeing a deal for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger this summer after his agent, Sahr Senesie, was filmed arriving at a hotel for crunch talks with club figures. The La Liga giants could be plotting a defensive raid of Stamford Bridge, with Rudiger the headliner ahead of his contract expiry.
Rudiger’s Chelsea deal expires in June, and he’s widely expected to depart the club on a free transfer. Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta will also be out of contract, and both have been strongly linked with switches to Camp Nou.
After flourishing into one of Europe’s best centre-backs in west London, acting as a peripheral figure in last season’s Champions League success, Rudiger is unsurprisingly attracting mass interest as the summer transfer window draws closer. And Barcelona have already put the wheels in motion to secure the 29-year-old’s services.
On Thursday, Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg posted an exclusive video on Twitter of Rudiger’s agent arriving at a Barcelona hotel for talks with sporting director Mateu Alemany and sporting advisor Jordi Cruyff. He revealed their meeting lasted three hours and confirmed the Spanish giants’ interest in a deal.
