Chelsea are better off without Rudiger

This is according to former Crystal Palace owner, Simon Jordan.

He described Chelsea defended Antonio Rudiger as being greedy following his link to Real Madrid.

Jordan added that the Germany international as ‘good riddance’ .

The reports revealed Rudiger has agreed a move to Real Madrid, a switch that will bring an end to his spell at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues, according to their coach, Thomas Tuchel, worked tirelessly to try and tie Rudiger down to a new contract but all seems to have been futile.

This is because the German player wants a fresh start to his career, despite his huge popularity in West London.

However, according to Jordan, Chelsea are better off without him.

“Absolute greed! Good riddance!” he told talkSPORT.

“Antonio Rudiger is going to Real Madrid because he is greedy!”

Jordan is happy to see Rudiger leave Chelsea and does not want the club to agree to the German’s contract demands.

In another report, the Germany international is expected to be available when the Blues take on Manchester United.
