Antonio Rudiger SIGNS for Real Madrid after putting pen to paper on a four-year deal, worth £315,000 a week... as LaLiga giants slap £340M release clause on the German, who will leave Chelsea for nothing this summer

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.
