Chelsea
are in talks with defender Antonio Rudiger's representatives over a new
contract.
The Germany international has entered the final year of his current deal but
told Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel he remains fully committed to the
Premier League club.
However, Rudiger wants to assess all his options before deciding on the next
step of his career.
Chelsea were in the process of extending the 28-year-old's contract last
October ahead of allowing him to leave on loan when Tottenham, PSG and AC
Milan were all interested.
A loan move did not materialise after Rudiger opted to stay and fight for
his place, and he has become first choice since Tuchel took over from Frank
Lampard.
He can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club in January, with
Real Madrid and PSG both interested.
Rudiger has made 153 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Roma in July
2017, winning the Champions League, Europa League, Super Cup and FA Cup.
