Rudiger, 29, is out of contract at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and, with no indications of a renewal, is increasingly set to go for free in the summer.

Since moving to the country's capital following a £31.5 million transfer from Italian club Roma, the German international has developed into one of his team's most significant players.

Rudiger has established himself as one of the Premier League's most dependable centre-backs since joining Chelsea under manager Thomas Tuchel, and he has surely contributed significantly to the Blues' recent accomplishments, which include winning the Champions League last season.
However, as his contract nears expiration, rumors of a move for the Germany international are getting more plausible, with Ralf Rangnick's Manchester United being one of the most prominent.

Man United should make a stunning transfer, according to Berbatov.
In spite of the fact that CaughtOffside has learned that the defender's representation are anticipating Paris Saint-Germain to make a hefty bid, Berbatov is one of many who feels the 29-year-old should remain in England's top division.

"They do need a new centre-back, United," the former Bulgaria international remarked in an interview with Express regarding who the Red Devils should sign this summer.

"Even though they have something like five guys for that position, things aren't going quite as smoothly as they could."

'But here - you said one name 'Rudiger' and now I'm concentrating on him,' I explained.

To be honest, based on his performances, he appears to be a good fit. 

His aggressiveness and ability to handle the ball make him an excellent fit for the team.
