Chelsea are reportedly yet to open contract talks with centre-back Antonio Rudiger, who will become a free agent at the end of next season as it stands.

Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger is yet to be offered a new deal by the club as speculation over his future intensifies, according to a report.

The former Roma man struggled for consistent game time under Frank Lampard earlier in the campaign, but he has enjoyed a major revival since his compatriot Thomas Tuchel took control of the reins.

Rudiger played the full 90 minutes in all eight of Chelsea's Champions League knockout games en route to the trophy, and he has affirmed that he wants to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, with his existing deal due to expire in 2022.

However, The Mirror reports that Chelsea have not made any effort to tie Rudiger down to a new deal yet, and clubs across Europe are ready to pounce should he ultimately depart.

Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain have previously been credited with an interest, while Jose Mourinho's admiration for the 28-year-old could supposedly see the former Spurs boss try to bring him back to Roma.

Rudiger played his part in nine Premier League clean sheets under Tuchel during the 2020-21 season, and he has made the Germany squad for this summer's European Championship. body check tags ::
