Manchester United have made it clear that they will meet Antonio Rudiger's huge wage demands ahead of a potential summer move, according to a report.
The Chelsea defender is out of contract in June, along with fellow teammates Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen, and he and the club are yet to agree a new deal.
As a result, the 28-year-old is free to talk to foreign clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement, whilst English-based clubs must wait until the summer to agree any potential deal for a free transfer.
However, according to Football Insider, this has not prevented United from discussing a potential move for Rudiger ahead of the expiration of his contract at Stamford Bridge, and the Red Devils are said to be willing to meet the demands of the German.
The terms are said to include wages in excess of £300,000 per week, which would bring Rudiger in line with some of the highest earners at Old Trafford.
Although, despite interest from fellow Premier League clubs and those from around Europe, Chelsea remain confident in tying down their central defender to a new contract.
