Terms mean nothing until official. I'm sure that Rudiger's agent is shopping around, that is the smart thing to do and so no surprise there. But it would be also very dumb to not even wait to learn who the new owners are and see what they have to offer before he makes a move.

Superblue 6,372 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 With some of the main bids for the club being reported, I'm quietly confident that any of the likes of Boehly, Ricketts, Broughton getting hold of us, money will be there in the summer to be spent if required. I would expect Rudiger's contract to be one of the first priorities to a new owner, possibly followed by making sure Tuchel is secured (maybe an extension to his contract). But getting to the summer, I feel that even if some of the prospective owners want to try and reign the spending in a little in the future, they'll want to get fans on their side and usher in a new era, their own era, at the club and the way that will likely happen is targeting a couple of big signings to add to the squad.

King Kante 1,643 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I think the new owners will make Rudi No.1, especially if they're American. Can see them failing to see of the logic of giving him an extra £15-£25m in contract guarantees to then blow £50m+ on a replacement who will want just as much in wages. Issue will be time. That being said, transfer speculation is all guess work atm, as too much is up in the air. I mean, if we get the Saudis we could be looking exclusively at WC players, whereas if we get Woody expect a sale of a couple of decent players and a reliance on youth players to replace them. If no sale goes through (I think it will) then batten down the hatches. Let's see how the next few weeks play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kova, Kanté and Jorgi are all injury prone, latter two are 31. Gallagher is definetly one to keep and he has contract. With Rüdiger, situation is a little out of control, it's almost April and we still don't know who will be the owner and who will be the PIC to negotiate with him while he is free to talk with other clubs. Him, Azpi and Christensen will be hard to keep in this situation, but I am confident Gallagher will be with us next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,206 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Man United putting ‘pressure’ to sign PL star Antonio Rüdiger on a free – Red Devils ‘have not had final say’ http://sportwitness.co.uk/man-united-putting-pressure-sign-pl-star-free-red-devils-not-final-say/ As most of you will know, Antonio Rüdiger’s contract at Chelsea runs out in the summer. It’s been one of the most talked about free agent stories of the season, since the Germany international is among the best in his position in the Premier League, and Manchester United know this. Chelsea’s current situation means the club cannot offer him a new contract, even if he was reportedly interested in extending at Stamford Bridge, but that could all change if the Blues are sold away from Roman Abramovich. That could still take a while, though, allowing clubs to approach Rüdiger in the meantime with their own offers to try and lure him away from London. PSG? Real? Tottenham? Juventus? Announced as promised to the Old Lady, #Rüdiger has not made its final decision. At the end of the contract with #Chelsea , the German international is notably the subject of a forcing from Manchester United. #Mercato Like Parisians and Madrid, the Red Devils have not said their last word. For its part, Bayern Munich has backtracked on the XXL demands of the player. Manchester United are one of those, being pushed by the German and French media as a challenger to the likes of Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain for the centre-back. French journalist Ignazio Genuardi brought an update over the weekend, explaining that Rüdiger ‘has not taken a definitive decision on his future’, and is ‘notably the subject of pressure from Manchester United’, keen to bring him to Old Trafford for next season. Whether the Chelsea defender would want to move to another Premier League side remains to be seen, but ‘the Red Devils have not had their final say’ in the matter.

Vesper 30,206 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Huddersfield Town's Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill named among best young players in world football The Terriers centre-back has been listed alongside international stars like Jude Bellingham and Gavi as one of the most promising players on the planet aged 19 or under https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/huddersfield-towns-Chelsea-loanee-levi-23465902 Huddersfield Town centre-back Levi Colwill has been named among the top 50 young players in world football in a list assembled by NXGN, a global network of journalists operating in 37 countries. Borussia Dortmund’s England international Jude Bellingham has topped the men’s list, with Reims’ Haitian midfielder Melchie Dumorney topping the women’s list. Only players born on or after 1st January 2003 were considered for selection, and past winners of the men’s list include Ansu Fati, Jadon Sancho, Justin Kluivert, Rodrygo, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Youri Tielemans. Colwill is on loan at the John Smith’s Stadium from Chelsea this season and has put in a standard of performance that belies his youth: he only turned 19 last month. The defender, who is currently on international duty with England under-21s, has won plaudits for his maturity on and off the pitch and is tipped for a big future in the game. Terriers head coach Carlos Corberan said of Colwill earlier this season: "I think he’s going to be one of the most important centre-backs for this country in the future." Town have conceded just 20 goals in Colwill’s 22 Championship starts this season, though he has found his opportunities limited recently after Matty Pearson and Tom Lees excelled in his absence with a knee injury he suffered soon after the turn of the new year that kept him out for around six weeks. Colwill is the only current Championship player named on the list, which also includes the likes of Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott and Barcelona starlet Gavi.
