Bayern Munich director Salihamidzic reacts to Rudiger transfer talk

The defender can leave Chelsea for free next summer and Bayern, along with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, are interested in signing him

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has distanced the club from reports they hope to sign Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.

Germany international Rudiger is out of contract at the end of the season and is said to be of interest to several top teams across Europe.

Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann sparked further speculation this week when he praised the centre-back at a press conference for his "aggressiveness" and labelled him a "decisive" player.
