The Germany international defender is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal with Premier League heavyweights
Antonio Rudiger is pleased to hear that Thomas Tuchel would like to see him sign a new contract at Chelsea, with the German defender prepared to talk terms after this summer's European Championship.
The commanding 28-year-old is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal, having now spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge.
Transfer speculation has surfaced at various intervals, with Rudiger not always a guaranteed starter, but he has earned favour under fellow countryman Tuchel and is now being lined up for an extended stay in west London.
