EPL: Rudiger Takes Decision on Chelsea’s Latest Contract Offer

Chelsea gallant centre-back, Antonio Rudiger, has turned down the club’s latest contract offer.

The Germany international’s current contract with the Blues is due to run out at the end of the season.

Candidly, the former Roma player has been determined and steady since Thomas Tuchel took over at the Stamford Bridge.

His ‘no nonsense’ style of playing has attracted the like of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain who have tendered pre-contract proposals.

The 28-year-old has been part of the Blues’ squad that defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the last Champions League final.

The defender who currently receives about £100,000-a-week has reportedly refused to accept the club’s first offer in the region of £140,000-a-week.

Following that, Tuchel’s side stepped it up by more than £50,000 to an estimate of £200,000 per week, Daily Mail can confirm.

Nonetheless, Rudiger could not accept the offer as it’s no where near his demand.

In short, with the fresh offer, the man who began his senior career at Stuttgart has not felt persuaded to extend his deal with the club.

However, his side are still looking forward to getting the deal done before the season comes to an end.
