AS Roma star player Antonio Rudiger has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, and he seems destined to join former teammate Mohamad Salah to play in the English top flight next season, after showing interest with a move to Stamford Bridge.
And in a new development, Sunday Mirror reported that Manchester City will try to hijacking Chelsea’s bid to sign the defender.
It is understood that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has identified Rudiger as the perfect man to bolster the centre of his defence following the departure of legend John Terry.
Additionally, a few days back, Nathan Ake completed a £20M move to Bournemouth.
There were speculations that the Stamford Bridge club have agreed a £33million deal with Roma for Rudiger and the player himself fueled rumours that a transfer was close by liking a picture of Chelsea’s new kit on Instagram.
Monaco star player Tiemoue Bakayoko is due to complete a move to Chelsea any time soon, and it is understood that Pep Guardiola was disappointed to lose the signature of the Frenchman to Chelsea.
Pep is thus desperate to avenge by snatching Rudiger from Chelsea after frustration in signing Leonardo Bonucci from Juventus.
The former Barcelona manager is expected to splash heavy cash once more this summer after a trophyless campaign last term.
