According to Daily Daily Star, Paul Merson has given his honest opinion on the future of Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger and he believes that the German defender is closing on an exit from Stamford bridge.
Antonio Rudiger‘s Chelsea career has become an inspiration in the last year and a half. The German player was a key reason behind the Blues’ Champions League triumph last season, where he bravely denied Phil Foden from point-blank range in the final against Manchester City.
This season, The 28-year-old’s performances have been consistent and reliable. In the 14 Premier League games that the German has featured in, he has helped the team keep a clean sheet in 7 matches. The West Londoners have conceded the joint-lowest number of league goals this season, and the former AS Roma player had an enormous contribution in us achieving such a feat.
Antonio Rudiger has been closing in on a Chelsea exit as he is nearing the end of his contract.
Despite the German international’s on-field performance becoming an example for his teammates, his contract stance has created concern in the Chelsea camp. Despite nearing the end of his contract, the defender is yet to sign a renewal. Every passing day, it has been more and more certain that his future lies elsewhere.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson thinks it’s almost guaranteed that the German defender will leave the club at the end of the season.
The West London team would undoubtedly feel the absence of the Ex-Roma centre back if he decided to leave. The 28-year-old is currently one of the best defenders in the league, and it won’t be easy replacing him.
