Central defender Rudiger revealed his two idol players and they are both… strikers. He considers joining Real Madrid to be the biggest step in his career.

Rudiger is eager to join Real Madrid

The German midfielder joined the La Liga giants on a free transfer after his contract with Chelsea expired.

He said that Real Madrid approached the signing since September last year and although he received many offers after that, Vultures was the only club he chose besides Chelsea.

In an interview with Marca, Rudiger shared: “The first time Real Madrid contacted me was in September or October last year.

A club like that doesn’t come calling very often and that’s fantastic.

Joining Real Madrid is a huge chapter for me, perhaps the biggest in my career.”.

Coach Thomas Tuchel really wаnted to keep his compatriot, but the situation that happened to Chelsea at a sensitive time made it impossible for him.The German midfielder also surprised everyone by revealing his idols, with two names playing on the аttаck! He confessed that he loves Ronaldo, but it is not the Ronaldo who plays for MU, but the ‘alien’ Ronaldo who once played for both Barca and Real Madrid.“When I was little, I was a striker. In fact, it wasn’t until I was 16 that I started playing defense. My idols are George Weah and Ronaldo Nazario.Weah is the only African to win the Ballon d’Or to date, so he is everyone’s great idol. As for Ronaldo, this Brazilian is unbelievable…”.
