Antonio Rudiger makes contract demand amid PSG interest

Rudiger reluctant to pen Chelsea extension

Antonio Rudiger makes contract demand amid PSG interest

07 September 2021 - 20:00

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is reportedly evaluating his future amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

  • Former Chelsea boss to replace Erik ten Hag at Man Utd?
  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?

  • The German has only 10 months remaining on his contract, and he has yet to commit to an extension with the Blues.

    He is currently on £135,000-a-week and is eyeing £200,000-a-week to sign a renewal. The Blues have refused to match that.

    Negotiations are in progress, but Rudiger could potentially sign a pre-contract with an overseas club at the turn of the year.

    Paris Saint-Germain have expressed an early interest in him, as per Eurosport. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also keen.

    Rudiger has been almost ever-present in the back three since Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as the Blues manager this year.

    Tuchel has urged the board to prioritise Rudiger's renewal, but the hierarchy are reluctant to meet the demands of the 28-year-old.

    Aside from Rudiger, the Blues are in talks with Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta, whose contracts expire in June next year.

    The duo are expected to renew their deals in the next few weeks.
