“The situation is that Antonio wants to leave the club”said Tuchel on Sunday after beating 1-0 (0-0). West Ham United: “The club and I gave everything but we couldn’t keep fighting because of the sanctions.”
Great Britain has frozen Abramovich’s assets – including Chelsea, which is to be sold as soon as possible. Three consortiums have submitted bids, and before the sale the government will ensure that the billionaire Russian oligarch does not benefit personally.
Agreement with Real Madrid?
According to media reports, Rüdiger has already agreed on a transfer with Real Madrid. The sanctions have for the Champions League winner and FA Cup-Finalists Chelsea immediate impact on planning. “Without the sanctions, we would at least have been able to keep fighting, but our hands are tied,” complained Tuchel. Before a sale, the club will not be able to sign a successor for the central defender, who is always set.
Rüdiger was out against West Ham due to a groin problem. “We don’t take it personally”said Tuchel, but saying goodbye to the 29-year-old “disappointing. He’s a key figure, we’ll miss him a lot. He instills courage in the dressing room. He’s the guy everyone’s afraid of, someone who plays 50-55 games at an outstanding level.”.
