Antonio Rudiger agrees a four-year contract with Real Madrid - on bigger wages than Chelsea ever offered - as he nears a Stamford Bridge exit after telling Thomas Tuchel he is leaving

Antonio Rudiger is expected to sign for Real Madrid after telling Chelsea he will not be signing a new contract.

The Germany star has reached an agreement with the La Liga club over what is understood to be an initial four year contract at the Bernebeu.

The total package will far surpass the £230,000-per-week deal Chelsea were offering Rudiger to stay at Stamford Bridge.

However, Sportsmail has learned that Rudiger has turned down bigger offers from elsewhere in Europe to sign for Real.

Barcelona, PSG and Juventus were all interested in Rudiger.
