Journo claims German giants make contact with Chelsea defender’s agent amidst talks of new contract

Transfer News: Bayern Munich in contact with agent of Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger

According to reliable journalist Christian Falk, Bayern Munich are said to be in contact with the agent of Chelsea star Antonio Rudiger. The reputed journalist claimed that the Bundesliga giants are in touch with Sahr Senesie, who is the brother and agent of Rudiger. While Bayern are interested, a new contract at Chelsea is also likely.

Antonio Rudiger just keeps impressing week in and week out. Against Zenit in the Champions League, he made a game-saving challenge that allowed Chelsea to walk away with the win. Over the weekend, he showed another skill of his, goal-scoring, when he added the third for Chelsea against Tottenham.

The German has become an indispensable asset for the Blues over the last few months and was a vital part of the side that won the Champions League and Super Cup. However, the problem is that his current deal ends in less than a year. That puts Chelsea in a real spot as foreign clubs will be able to sign him for free on a pre-contract in January itself.

There are understood to be a few clubs such as PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich after his signature. However, reputed journalist Christian Falk had an update that Bayern are taking the lead on this one. The Bundesliga leaders are in contact with Rudiger’s agent and brother, Sahr Senesie. Although, there is still a chance that Rudiger signs a new contract with Chelsea.

Given his form and impotence to the side, Chelsea would hate to lose the German defender. But the fact is also true that they are running out of time to get him to agree to a new deal. Losing him would be bad but losing him for free would be worse. Now with Bayern hot on the heels, the Blues have their task cut out.
