Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has told the club he is not interested in opening talks over a new contract until after Euro 2020.

But with 15 months left to run on a contract that Chelsea are keen to extend, Rudiger has informed the club that discussions will not start until the European Championships are over, according to The Athletic.
