The German defender admits to having weighed up his options during the summer of 2020, but says no exit talks were ever held
Antonio Rudiger has revealed how close he came to leaving Chelsea during the summer of 2020, with the German defender sparking talk of interest from Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain.
Frank Lampard was at the Stamford Bridge helm during that transfer window, and a Blues legend had started to favour alternative options when filling centre-half berths.
Rudiger admits to having mulled over a push for the exits, but says discussions were never held with any suitors and he eventually worked his way back into favour before becoming a key man under Thomas Tuchel.
