Frank Lampard is believed to be in a position to pay attention to the German’s delivery in 30 international matches after a series of disappointing performances this season.
He endured a difficult afternoon in the FA Cup final against Arsenal, then fell in the 4–1 loss to Bayern Munich.
But still, according to Mundo Deportivo, Jurgen Klopp is in a position to take a leap to land the 27-year-old.
The Reds are ahead of the hiring of another central defender this summer after ascending to Dejan Lovren.
Croatian Lovren, 31, has joined Zenit St Petersburg for a total of 10.9 million pounds.
That leaves Anfield’s boss with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip as his 3 most sensitive central defenders.
And we’re Rudiger on his radar.
The former Roma, bought through Chelsea for 31 million pounds in 2017, missed the top of the first part of the season due to a groin injury, but ended up making 19 starts in the Premier League.
However, he was eliminated after a poor defeat in West Ham, then on his return he lined up at Sheffield United.
Rudiger has fought Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori for hits this season.
But the protection turned out to be Lampard’s Achilles heel, as the club scored 79 goals in all competitions, the highest since the 1990/91 campaign.
Therefore, all the money raised with the sale of Rudiger can be reinvested in a new defender in west London.
The club has been connected with John Stones, Declan Rice and Ben White, who have inspired to borrow at Brighton Leeds.
Rudiger still has two years left on his current contract with Stamford Bridge and is close to signing an extension right now.
He played 115 times for Les Bleus, assisting the club in the FA Cup and Europa League in their first two seasons.
