Antonio Rudiger Says There's 'No Need' to Discuss New Chelsea Contract

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger says there's "no need" to begin talks over a new contract with Maurizio Sarri's side yet.

Rudiger only joined the Blues in 2017 from Roma and has become a regular at Stamford Bridge. He told Simon Johnson at Standard Sport that he has not opened negotiations over an extension.

"That's not the case. I think there is also no need. I still have three-and-a-half years (on my current contract) to go I like it here, but there is no speaking between me and the club. It is not necessary at the moment.
