Antonio Rudiger has opened up on why he left Chelsea for Real Madrid.
The German said he had to leave as the Premier League side delayed contract talks.
Rudiger added that Real Madrid do not call often, making it irresistible for him to answer the Spanish top flight giants.
Speaking to The Inside Scoop, the Germany International said that he was at the peak of his career and knew that there was a chance of moving to Real Madrid.
“There was a massive period of no talks, sometimes you have in your mind okay let’s not get injured but I didn’t do this, I was still playing at my best.
“I also knew in my mind that the Champions League we won could be my ticket to the biggest club in the world, Real Madrid does not come knocking often,” he said.
Rudiger also wrote in the Players’ Tribune that the contract talks played a huge role in his exit.
He added that the sanctions played a part, but he had nothing bad to say about the London club.
