Antonio Rudiger is set to make final decision on his future amid growing inevitability that he will leave Chelsea.
The Blues defender is almost certain to leave the current European champions when his contract expires in June.
Chelsea want to keep Rudiger but the club’s contractual operations are effectively at a standstill until the new owners are in place.
Indeed, Rudiger is said to be virtually certain in his own mind that he will leave in the coming weeks.
The player’s advisers will hold a final round of talks with all interested parties in the coming days before Rudiger decides which club to join on a lucrative free transfer.
