Real Madrid make Antonio Rudiger their 'No 1 priority' for January transfer window as Carlo Ancelotti looks to fill the void left by Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has reportedly emerged as Real Madrid's top transfer target for the January window.

The Germany international is out of contract with the Blues next summer after rejecting a new deal worth around £125,000-per-week.

Therefore, Real Madrid have made Rudiger their 'No 1 priority' for next year as they believe he is capable of filling the void left by the departures of Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos.
