Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger has accepted a contract offer from Real Madrid, it has been revealed.

The star's contract expires at Stamford Bridge in June and he has rejected numerous offers to stay.

After victory over West Ham, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel revealed the pair had a "private talk" where it was decided his future would be away from the club - meaning he will leave for free.

Now Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that the 29-year-old only has to put pen to paper on his contract with Madrid after agreeing terms over a four-year deal with them.

He tweeted: "The agreement between Toni Rudiger and Real Madrid has been reached on a four year deal, valid until June 2026.

"It's matter of final details before signing the contracts.

"No official announcement before the end of the season, even if Toni will sign in May."
