Tuchel ‘disappointed’ as Granovskaia plots sale of top Chelsea star in January

 

Antonio Rudiger has become a vital ingredient in the Blues defence. Having been given the cold shoulder by predecessor Frank Lampard, the Germany international has since become a cornerstone of Chelsea’s success under Tuchel.

A vital member of the side, Rudiger – along with Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen – have become rocks on which Chelsea’s success have been built.

All three players, however, fall out of contract next summer, presenting Chelsea with a major problem.

But while Azpilicueta and Christensen will soon reportedly commit to new deals, there is less certainty over Rudiger.

Rudiger will, as a result, command widespread interest from Europe’s big hitters. A recent report detailed interest from Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus.
