Thomas Tuchel is still confident that Chelsea can keep hold of Antonio Rudiger, despite the German defender's contract ending this summer.
And the Blues head coach has also stated there is a 'very high probability' that captain Cesar Azpilicueta will also stay on after a contract extension was triggered.
Reports this week suggested that representatives of Rudiger had met with officials from Barcelona ahead of a potential free transfer this summer.
However, Tuchel believes that the 29-year-old could still be at Stamford Bridge come the start of next season.
