According to transfer news from Express, Tottenham are all set to reignite their interest in Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger. The defender’s contract runs out within a year and Spurs, who went after him last summer, could do so again this time around. PSG have also expressed their interest in him.
Antonio Rudiger had slipped to the fringes under Frank Lampard in the first half of the season. However, as soon as Thomas Tuchel took over, he became one of the first names on the team sheet. He has started 24 out of 28 games under Tuchel, only missing 3 games, playing a vital part in Chelsea’s top-four finish and Champions League win.
Even after his resurgence this season, there remain question marks over his future. The Blues could lose the former Roma man for nothing next season if a new deal is not agreed soon. He was linked with an exit last summer with Spurs keen to take him across London.
While the German defender has spoken about renewing his deal after the Euros, Chelsea had chances last year to renew his deal but refused to do so. Within 6-7 months, Rudiger could actually sign a pre-contract with another club if no deal is agreed. Spurs, on their part, have retained their interest in the 28-year-old and could try to land him this summer.
Rudiger played a starring role in the Champions League win over Man City. However, Chelsea are running out of time to secure his future. Given how he has become a vital part of Tuchel’s new-look side, it is imperative that Chelsea convince the defender to put pen to paper on a new deal soon. With just a year left on his current deal, Chelsea would like to avoid any fiascos.
