Antonio Rudiger ‘dissatisfied’ at Chelsea with club yet to make improved contract offer since start of season

CHELSEA star Antonio Rudiger is “dissatisfied” with the club as they have yet to offer him an improved contract, reports suggest.

That is according to Bild’s head of football Christian Falk, who claims that the Blues haven’t offered Rudiger a better deal since the start of the season.

Falk tweeted: “[Rudiger] is dissatisfied. [Chelsea] did not made [sic] a better offer for a new contract since the start of the season.”

Rudiger has proven to be an essential part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad with a series of impressive performances at the back.

However, the centre-back’s contract runs out in June and thus the west Londoners are in danger of losing him for free next summer.

The Germany international is reportedly eyeing a £400,000-a-week deal, which is £50k more than what star team-mate Romelu Lukaku earns.

Bayern Munich, Juventus and Real Madrid have already expressed their desire to sign the 28-year-old.

Real are reportedly ready to make a move for Rudiger in the January transfer window.

The German joined Chelsea in 2017 following a £29million deal with Roma.

He has since amassed a total of 159 appearances across all competitions for the Premier League giants.

The former Stuttgart player has also scored eights goals and created another three.

Rudiger is currently considered as one of the most influential players in the squad and played a major role in last season’s Champions League triumph.
