Ongoing report have shown that Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been priced out of a potential deal to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger in the summer which they considered is carrying a huge wage structure.
It was gathered that the 28-year-old respected Germany international has less than five months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and his future with the Blues remains uncertain based on disagreement with is wage structure.
Spurs are believed to be one of a number of teams who are keeping tabs on Rudiger’s situation, with the club’s managing director Fabio Paratici determined to sign the centre-back.
Report from reputable sport media like Football Insider reports that the player is holding out for a contract worth in excess of £300,000 per week, which Tottenham are not prepared to pay even though there would be no transfer fee included.
The report adds that the addition of Rudiger on a big-money contract would break Spurs’ wage structure, with talisman Harry Kane currently the club’s highest earner on around £200,000 per week plus bonuses.
Rudiger, who recently won the Club World Cup with Chelsea, has also been linked with Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
