Frank Leboeuf has admitted he is saddened to see Antonio Rudiger move away from Chelsea this summer. The German is leaving on a free transfer after his contract expires at the end of the season.
Rudiger has been in fresh contract talks with Chelsea for a long time but did not pen a new deal. He was reportedly offered a huge contract by the club, but he has chosen to leave and take up a new challenge.
While speaking on ESPN, Leboeuf revealed that he was not happy to see the German defender leaving Chelsea. He claims the center-back is precisely what the club needs, and it is a big mistake to let him go. He said:
“A big one. And in fact since Tuchel signed for the club, we discovered a new Rudiger and because of him he made him indispensable and he’s been absolutely fantastic. He’s been a warrior outside on the field, but I was told also in the dressing room. Fantastic player, fantastic man." "
"I saw even him screaming at N’Golo Kante. Nobody wants to scream at N’Golo Kante, he is perfect, he does everything perfectly! But that is not enough for Rudiger. I love Antonio Rudiger.
He’s had a great time in the past year-and-a-half, helped Chelsea win the Champions League and he’s at the end of his contract. He’s aging and he has the right to choose his future. I will be sad, because he’s an important person.”
