As stated by Fichajes. Net, Tottenham Hotspur is interested in former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, who is vying for a spot in Real Madrid’s starting XI in La Liga. The North London club wants to improve its defense, which has been identified as an immediate priority.
Rudiger, who joined Real Madrid from Chelsea last summer but has struggled to establish himself in the team, might be a good fit for Tottenham’s three-man central defense under Antonio Conte. Rudiger has scored two goals in 30 appearances for Los Blancos in various tournaments.
However, his time at the club has not gone as planned, and he has lost favor with Real Madrid’s upper management. The rumored return of Fran Garcia to the Santiago Bernabeu has reportedly piqued the German defender’s interest in leaving the team.
Despite their interest in the player, Tottenham is aware that they will not be able to acquire him for a low price due to his differential quality and Premier League experience. The team is trying to win the Premier League and keep Antonio Conte in charge, who has complained about the team’s lack of investment and will be leaving in the summer of 2023.
Rudiger’s arrival could expand Tottenham’s defensive options, which currently only include Cristian Romero. The addition of the seasoned German would significantly improve the team, and Conte has urged Tottenham Managing Director Fabio Paratici to acquire elite defenders.
The outcome of the transaction would be determined by Real Madrid’s decision and the summer interest in Josko Gvardiol, whose arrival could make Rudiger’s departure from the Santiago Bernabeu easier. One of the most significant moves in the coming summer market is likely to be Tottenham’s signing of Rudiger.
To complement Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix, Chelsea is eyeing the traditional number nine:
Christopher Nkunku, according to reports, is seen by Chelsea as a player who can play behind the striker rather than as a traditional No. 1. 9, according to Fabrizio Romano, a transfer expert. The French international, who suffered an injury during the warm-up games and was unable to participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has a pre-contract agreement with Chelsea.
Chelsea is said to be looking for a striker in the summer to complement Nkunku and Joao Felix, despite their satisfaction with the duo. The West London club will try to improve their attack in order to have the best chance of winning titles in the following season.
