Posted on October 23, 2021 at 8:30 p.m. by Dan Marciano To believe the English press, the PSG would be on the spot for Antonio Rüdiger, under contract until the end of the season with Chelsea. But Bayern Munich and Real Madrid would be on pole in this case. Generally, the winter transfer window allows teams to strengthen certain sectors in difficulty. But not sure that the PSG needs to be active next January. The Parisian club managed to attract Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos, Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes last summer and they succeeded, for the most, to be indispensable. Sporting director of PSG, Leonardo has, rather, the head tilted towards the next summer transfer window. The Brazilian leader may need to recruit a striker capable of filling the possible departure of Kylian Mbappé, a midfielder, but also a central defender. While Sergio Ramos has still not played a game this season, PSG could bring in defensive reinforcements and would particularly target players at the end of their contract. According to the foreign press, the Parisian club would have notably checked the name of Antonio Rüdiger, linked to Chelsea until next June. As Calciomercato.com clarified this Saturday, PSG would have started discussions with the entourage of Antonio Rüdiger. The latter would favor a contract extension with Chelsea , but as OK Diario points out, negotiations are reportedly at a standstill today. The two sides cannot come to an agreement. “I hope they find a solution, but it's not just between the coach and the player. It's between the club and the player's agent. He's been playing really well for a long time – he's very consistent at a very high level. I feel he is very calm, very focused and obviously it is not a distraction for him. I think Toni is feeling very, very good at Chelsea ”recently hoped his coach Thomas Tuchel . But the tendency would be for the German international to leave at the end of the season. And several teams are ready to accelerate in this Rüdiger file. PSG would have activated this track, but would today be left behind by Real Madrid , but also by Bayern Munich . The interest of the German club had not been denied by the main interested party: “The interest of Bayern Munich honors me because it shows that I have done some good things recently”. Both teams are reportedly on pole in this case, according to OK Diario reports. But by the end of the season, anything can be done. Asked about his future, Rüdiger still does not know whether he will stay at Chelsea . “I don't get distracted. I have an obligation to my club to perform well. I have to prove myself in every game and not be distracted by rumors. I make my decisions myself. They don't depend on anyone. I feel good where I am ”he declared, evasive, a few days ago.
