Antonio Rudiger has said he is “super excited” to join Real Madrid.
The Germany defender’s move to the Spanish giants was confirmed on Thursday.
Rudiger’s deal with Chelsea will expire at the end of this month and he has now agreed personal terms and put to paper on a pre-contract agreement with Champions League winners Real.
Both clubs confirmed the news on Thursday, with Rudiger signing a four-year deal believed to be worth in excess of £250,000-a-week.
The 29-year-old will be officially unveiled at the Bernabeu on Monday 20 June at midday and will address the media at his first press conference shortly afterwards.
Reacting to his move to Real, Rudiger wrote on social media: ‘I’m proud to announce that I’ll be joining Real Madrid.
‘I’m super excited for all the challenges ahead and can’t wait to play my first games for this huge club. Hala Madrid!’
