Cash-strapped Stuttgart to sell Chelsea, Man Utd target Rudiger in January

VfB Stuttgart are considering putting Antonio Rudiger up for sale in January. With Stuttgart struggling financially, the Stuttgarter Nachrichten says VfB management may seek to sell their star defender to balance the books.

Manchester United and West Ham United made enquiries over the summer and they've since been joined by Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Juventus as Rudiger has continued to impress this season.

Former Stuttgart coach Thomas Schneider, now with Germany's backroom staff, revealed: "Even in my time in Stuttgart there were requests from top English clubs for him."

It's understood Rudiger's current deal carries a €15 million buyout clause.
