Chelsea agree deal to sign Antonio Rudiger from Roma
Chelsea and Roma have agreed a deal for central defender Antonio Rudiger, Sky sources understand.
Rudiger helped Germany win the Confederations Cup in Russia earlier this month. It is thought the player will take a medical in Los Angeles this week, with the transfer figure potentially rising to £34m.
The 24-year-old moved to Roma from Stuttgart initially on a season-long loan deal in August 2015 before making the move permanent the following season for 7.6m.
Personal terms still have to be discussed but it appears that Rudiger will become a Chelsea player ahead of the new Premier League season.
Chelsea are in need of defensive reinforcements following the departures of Nathan Ake and John Terry to Bournemouth and Aston Villa respectively.
