John Terry cannot believe his former club Chelsea are going to let defender Antonio Rudiger leave in the summer.
Manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed the reports following Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham, saying government sanctions have left the club's hands tied.
Rudiger's contract expires in the summer and he has already agreed a four-year contract with Real Madrid.
'The situation is that he wants to leave the club,' Tuchel revealed. 'He informed me of this in a private talk.
'We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions. Without the sanctions we would at least be able to carry on fighting, but our hands are tied. We don't take it personally. It is his decision.'
Responding to the news, legendary Chelsea defender Terry was incredulous.
'How have we let this man go,' he replied to a post on Instagram with three covering face emojis.
And fans echoed his sentiments.
'Sad to see him leave,' wrote one while another said 'my heart is broken'.
'Held our badge up and really wish all the best in the next challenge, responded another. 'Thank you Tony.'
Other supporters coukldn't hide their frustration with one saying they have become 'Real Madrid's feeder club'
Expanding on the situation, Tuchel added: 'he is a key figure and will stay that way until the end of the season. But it is disappointing. We will miss him a lot.
'He gives courage in the dressing room. The kind everyone is afraid of, but the kind to play 50-55 games at an outstanding level. He is a top defender.'

Rudiger wants to go, he's free to leave, after all over a year ago he couldn't even get on as a sub but now that's he was rejuvenated he's looking for more money. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a pay raise but always remember where you came from and who stood by you.
