Saif Rubie, who acts as Rüdiger's intermediary, said that Boehly and co blame the previous regime for forcing them to spend big after willingly parting ways with several of their other options.
"The new regime had to come and pick up the pieces of decisions that were made by the old regime," he said, as per the Daily Mail.
"Things like letting the lad (Guehi) go to Crystal Palace, who was also a defender, letting another (Tomori) go for not a lot of money to AC Milan.
"When I spoke to the new regime, I said the old regime cost you £100m. Do you know what they said to me? 'More.'"
Rubie also gave a damning insight into the way the club had handled his client's contract, claiming that they did very little to persuade the German international to stay at Stamford Bridge.
"What if I told you Chelsea, and the old regime, basically made next to no effort to keep the player. At the time he was very happy to stay and potentially be the captain of the club," Rubie continued.
"He was offered a contract that was half the amount Romelu Lukaku were earning."
