Real Madrid are set to complete the signing of Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rdiger. This Friday, the Spanish press reveals the figures for this operation.
Rediger to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid
At the end of the contract next June, Antonio Rediger will leave Chelsea at the end of the season. As mentioned this week, the 29-year-old central defender, whose departure has been confirmed by his coach Thomas Tuchel, will probably join Real Madrid.
11 M€ per year for Writer
According to the journalist specializing in the transfer window, Fabrizio Romano, the German and the White House will sign a contract in the coming days. It will be a four-year lease, ie until June 2026. And it will be particularly lucrative for the player, according to information published this Friday by Marca.
To attract an element courted by Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United or Juventus Turin, Real went all out. The Spanish daily claims that Editor will receive an annual salary of 9 million euros net. The Merengues, who will not have a transfer fee to pay, have also agreed to offer him a signing bonus of 8 million euros smooth over the four seasons (2 million euros per year).
A €59 million transaction
In total, Writer is guaranteed to receive 44 million euros until 2026. This is slightly less than the sum initially claimed. Indeed, Marca recalls that the former AS Roma player wanted to obtain 55 million euros over four years. But it is not impossible that various bonuses and premiums will inflate the note during the next seasons.
For the 2022-2023 season, Real will not only spend 11 million euros (9 M€ in salaries + 2 M€ for the signing bonus) for its recruit. Also according to the local media, the leader of La Liga will also pay 15 million euros in agent commissions. In total, the Writer operation is therefore estimated at 59 million euros for four seasons. A high amount but rather logical for a player of this caliber.
