Rudiger’s replacement identified, Chelsea looking for the French defender

Antonio Rudiger will leave Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

The German national team player will leave as a free player, as it was recently reported that he has reached an agreement with Real Madrid.

The Daily Express reported on Monday that Chelsea are seeking the transfer of Jules Kounde, who is seen as an ideal replacement for Rudiger.

The “Blues” asked for the Frenchman last summer, but their offer of 55 million euros was rejected by Sevilla.

The Spanish club is said to be asking for at least 80 million euros for the 23-year-old.

Jules Kounde has a valid contract with Sevilla until June 30, 2024, but he is said to have decided to leave “Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan” after the end of this season.
