Antonio Rudiger 'considering his future at Chelsea'

Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger is reportedly considering his future at Stamford Bridge, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain keeping a close eye on the situation.

The 28-year-old, who was an important player under Blues boss Thomas Tuchel in the second half of last season, only has 11 months left to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Rudiger recently revealed that talks over a fresh deal had started, but according to Sky Sports News, the Germany international's long-term future at Chelsea is unclear.

The report claims that the defender 'will weigh up all options' before deciding whether to extend his stay in London, and both Real Madrid and PSG are being kept informed of any developments.

Rudiger, who represented Germany at this summer's European Championship, made 34 appearances for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign, having initially struggled to secure a spot under Frank Lampard.

The centre-back played the full 120 minutes as Chelsea beat Villarreal on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night.
