Manchester United has joined the race to tempt Chelsea’s defender, Antonio Rudiger from penning a new contract and joining the Red Devils as they’re showing willingness to pay his £300K a week request.

The Red Devils are considering to strengthen their backline in summer despite having world most expensive defender and exceptional defender Raphael Verane.

According to Calciomercato, United have reportedly accepted to make a move for Chelsea and Germany centre back Antonio Rudiger by willing to meet his €300k per week wages demand that’s approximately a £15.6m per year.

Rudiger has been a vital figure under Thomas Tuchel and therefore viewed as a perfect target to bolister Ralf Rangnick’s defensive department with Maguire set to be replaced.

The same report has revealed that united’s hierarchy might be as well willing to use Chelsea’s situation to appoint Thomas Tuchel as United’s permanent manager.
