Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has reportedly signed a four-year contract ahead of his move to Real Madrid.
Last month, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Rudiger had informed him of a desire to move elsewhere on a free transfer in the summer.
That revelation came either side of speculation persistently linking the Germany international with a switch to Real at the end of the season.
According to The Athletic, the 29-year-old has now penned his contract with the La Liga champions, keeping him in Spain until 2026.
With a medical having already been completed, the report claims that a transfer will be confirmed after the Champions League final at the end of this month.
Rudiger will allegedly earn between €9m and €10m per year after tax, terms which are said to be considerably more than what he was offered to stay in West London.
