Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said in April that the defender would leave when his contract expires. The German international, 29, is set to join LaLiga champions Real Madrid on a four-year deal.
"My contract negotiations had already started to get difficult last fall," Rudiger wrote in The Players' Tribune on Friday."Business is business, but when you don't hear any news from the club from August to January, the situation becomes complicated. "Obviously, no one saw the sanctions coming, but in the end, other big clubs were showing interest, and I had to make a decision. I will leave it at that, because business aside, I have nothing bad to say about this club."
He won the FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup during his time in London.
