Real Madrid has signed one of the best defenders in the world from Chelsea, Antonio Rüdiger
He was an integral part of the London club’s squad that won the Champions League, Europa League, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and FA Cup. In both of the previous two seasons, he was named to the Champions League Team of the Season.
Rüdiger is an imposing physical presence (measuring 1.90m) with experience in England, Germany, and Italy. Last season, he broke his appearance and goal records, appearing 54 matches and scoring five goals in Chelsea colors.
He made his Bundesliga bow at the tender age of 18 for Stuttgart, before moving on to Roma in 2015. In 2017, he made the switch to Chelsea, where he was a mainstay in the team’s defence during a five-season stay. He is also a regular fixture in the Germany squad and earned his 50th cap in March. He was part of the 2017 Confederations Cup-winning squad.
