Antonio Rudiger is reportedly not prepared to enter into contract discussions with Chelsea until after Euro 2020.
The 28-year-old appeared to be on his way out of the Blues under Frank Lampard but has been a key player for Thomas Tuchel since the change of management at Stamford Bridge.
Rudiger's existing deal with Chelsea is due to expire next summer, though, and a number of clubs are thought to be keeping a close eye on the developments surrounding the Germany international.
According to The Athletic, the Blues had wanted to secure Rudiger's future before this summer's European Championships, but the defender has informed his English club that he will not be holding any discussions over his future until later in the year.
The report claims that the German is currently happy at Chelsea and is keen on a renewal but is wary that his situation could change, having found himself out of the side under Lampard.
The six-time English champions are allegedly preparing to bring another centre-back to the club during this summer's transfer window.
