Barcelona chief Mateu Alemany admits they've held talks with Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel announced on Sunday that Rudiger will be leaving when his contract expires in June. The German is expected to join Real Madrid.

Alemany, meanwhile, revealed Barca have also met with agents for Rudiger.

He told Movistar+: "We had a meeting with him, but this agent also represents other players.

"We are not talking about his situation, but about a lot of things because he represents a lot of players.

"It is the rule of the house not to speak about players belonging to other clubs."
