Antonio Rudiger has completed his move to Real Madrid from Chelsea on a free transfer, signing a four-year deal. The Germany international, 29, has joined the new Spanish and European champions after rejecting Chelsea attempts to extend his contract. Rudiger moved to Chelsea for an initial fee of £29m from Roma in 2017.

Real Madrid and Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger have reached a deal for the German defender to join Los Blancos on a free transfer this summer, according to CBS soccer insider Fabrizio Romano and multiple reports in Europe. The player is set to sign a four-year contract, ESPN reports.

On Sunday, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said Rudiger had failed to agree a new deal with the European champions. Rudiger, who has also spoken to Bayern Munich, was offered a contract worth more than £200,000 to stay at Chelsea. The 29-year-old is expected to sign a four-year-old deal at the Bernabeu with a medical set to take place in London.
