Atletico Madrid is interested in Chelsea target 22-year-old Antonio Rudiger according to reports in Spanish sports newspaper AS.
As the Spanish club prepares for life after Miranda joined Inter Milan and Toby Alderweireld signed today for Tottenham, the Spanish club needs to find some cover for Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez.
The man emerging to fill that role is Stuttgart centre-back Antonio Rudiger along with Liverpool target Monaco’s Tunisian international Aymen Abdennour.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho sees the German international as a perfect partner for Kurt Zouma, and wants to buy him now rather than pay through the nose in a year or two’s time.
