Antonio Rudiger explained choosing Real Madrid when deciding to leave Chelsea last summer.

Rudiger admits he was aware of interest from PSG at the time.

The Germany international recalled: "There were a lot of rumours.

"You know, as soon as there was something with PSG, they sent me a message. But like I said, that's not what I was looking for. In the end, it has nothing to do with PSG.

"It's a very big club. But next door, Real Madrid, Real Madrid…

"I realised I could go to Real Madrid after lifting the Champions League (with Chelsea in 2021). I knew I could go there. At that moment, I understood. You want to be on the winning side, you have to go to Real Madrid.“
