Time to sell.

And replace him with who? We already are trying to dump (rightly so) Zouma.

Kounde would be a disastrous and outrageously expensive mistake.

Varane is likely Manure or PSG bound.

Zero links I see (stupidly so) to Romagnoli.

Lacroix is the youngster who would replace Zouma and learn from Thiago.

Keeping Zouma and selling Rudiger with no clear replacement would be madness.

Understandable he wants higher wages given he's currently one of the lowest earners, I believe? 

Not sure if Marina would agree to that 200k but if not, surely an agreement something a bit lower can be agreed upon.

I am no longer getting involved in who is making what salary, so I cannot give you a cogent answer.

I think it is fucked up that ALL players' salaries are not made 100% public, down to the pound.

It is one thing the yanks do properly

Pretty sure there will be a middle ground. He might as well shoot high as a starting point for negotiations. 

I assume there will be a decent bump to put him in our top 10 earners (which is probably where he should be anyway). I fully expect him and Christensen to be resigned this summer. Both were immense in the second half of the season and if Tuchel continues with the back 3, I see barely anything possibly on the market that would upgrade on both of them to be honest.

At this point AC renewing is maybe more important than Rüdiger. I think we can find another left sided one, but the mid CB who is as comfortable on the ball and in his positioning as AC or Silva is rare.

I'd love Lucas Hernandez at LCB.

Don't rate him at all. Has been quite average at Bayern, given they paid 80m for him he would cost a ton again.Bayern have been pretty pissed ever since figuring they bought the wrong Hernandez brother lol. Lucas is also similar to Malang Sarr playing wise, which i don't like.

Bastoni would be a decent option. Very technical, disciplined defender, I just have the impression that italian defenders do not like to come to EPL too much. Süle could work there as well, albeit he is right footed but a physical monster could complement our other defenders well. My absolute favourite is someone else tho... 

I still don't like Rüdiger's positioning and awareness too much, it can hurt us when we drop deep once he is not protected by AC/Thiago and Chilwell. No wonder Villareal tried to attack our left side with him and Alonso more despite our right side being a lot less experienced with Chalobah and CHO.

Rüdiger's strength is his aggressiveness and determination, trying to win the ball ferociously stepping out of the line almost as an extra DM which intimidates the opposition such that even if he does not make a tackle they cycle the ball backwards or risk being hurt by his pointy bones (KDB says hi)

He also contributes in attack with his bursting runs and insane pace.

In this he is pretty much unique so there can not be a 1 on 1 replacement. But from his physical characteristics I think my no. 1 choice Maxence Lacroix could work well on the left. He is just as fast and physical. Albeit he has been used mostly in a back 4 he has all the characteristics to thrive in a 3 with his proactive and resolute style.

There are several options for a left-footed CB:

-Bastoni

-Laporte

-Botman

-Torres

-Kimpembe

-Romagnoli

-N'Dicka
