Chelsea midfielder Jorginho insists the club will miss Antonio Rudiger once the defender leaves at the end of the season.

 The 29-year-old has been a hugely influential member of the Blues dressing room since his arrival from Roma in 2017. He has made 196 appearances for the club and has also contributed with 12 goals and seven assists.

However, Thomas Tuchel confirmed in an interview with Sky Sports on Sunday, 24 April, that the German international will leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

 Rudiger's contract with the Blues expires this summer and negotiations for a new contract have failed. This is despite the German being offered over £200,000 per week to stay in West London, according to The Metro .

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Rudiger is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. Jorginho admits he will miss his "good friend". The Chelsea midfielder told Sky Sports:

"He’s been here a long time so if he leaves we are going to miss him. We’ve had amazing times here, he’s a good friend of mine so if he leaves, not just me but everyone at the club will miss him."

When asked what he will most about Rudiger, Jorginho replied:

"The craziness! He makes me laugh a lot and all his jokes and laughs. That’s the nice part."
