Rudiger to choose Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juventus or PSG soon

Recent results have not gone Chelsea’s way overall. And that applies even to the failed but lauded effort in Spain versus Real Madrid which was littered with defensive and midfield errors. Premier League form is filled by as many victories as upsetting losses of late. Nevertheless, placing third is the main ambition; the FA Cup trophy would be a great bonus at an awkward time, too. Following the previous EPL defeat to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel either played some mild mind games or simply used a ridiculously poor excuse for mistakes and the general inept performances on Fulham Road. A bad pitch affects both teams, gaffer.

Other topical CFC-related news items include fans allegedly venting their frustrations toward Pensioners captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who then confronted them. Said supporters quickly backtracked – if they were criticising the players or Azpilicueta – by giving him positive signals as he approached closer. In addition to seemingly asked for his match-worn shirt. Naturally the defender declined the request during the emotionally charged situation. Elsewhere there is talk of Romelu Lukaku possibly departing the club this summer after one unsuccessful year back at Chelsea. You can read more on Pride of London about that speculation and our thoughts by clicking this highlighted link.

When centreback and wanted man Antonio Rudiger will choose to stay at Chelsea or depart

The importance of Rudiger is becoming cliche amongst the Blues fan base, I’m sure: the German is an absolute necessity to the core – if this is to again be a Champions League or Premier League-winning level side. And that is undeniable, particularly after recent defending. While the player apparently respectfully awaits a new ownership appointment to decide on his future, chatter continues. Furthermore, we have been blessed by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano’s insight into the issue. The Italian journalist claims that nothing has changed for the 29-year-old as of yet. CFC’s in demand CB is supposedly deliberating over remaining or joining a number of superclubs: Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

So, this leaves an unanswerable question for PoL over the likelihood of Rudiger staying at the Bridge. In my honest opinion the outcome will depend on numerous variables: the right owners materialising, who subsequently reassure the former Roma man that they will be recruitment the highest calibre of personnel. Furthermore, as always, money talks! As sad as it is to admit that one; and it is perfectly fine for someone to seek an improved salary – we all do. If the update concerning Rudiger’s agent being in constant contact with los Blancos representatives is in fact true, it could be bad news for Tuchel.

Another startling piece of ‘news‘ to read is that Formula One star Lewis Hamilton – who has seven triumphs himself – & tennis legend Serena Williams – she has 23 singles titles – have joined Sir Martin Broughton’s consortium. Sir Broughton’s group is one of three which have submitted bids in an aim to acquire the West London outfit. LA Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly’s collective appear to be favoured by the ‘Chels’ faithful that I have seen.
