Real Madrid have inserted a £340million release clause into Antonio Rudiger’s contract after the Chelsea defender completed his move to Spain on Tuesday.
The Germany star has signed a four-year contract with the La Liga side worth in the region of £315,000-per-week. He will also net a signing on fee that will take his wage significantly north of that figure.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed in December that Rudiger was in line to earn £400,000-per-week if he was to leave Chelsea.
Sources close to the deal have also indicated that Rudiger’s release clause at Madrid will be €400m (£342m).
