Antonio Rudiger has reportedly expressed a desire to pen new terms at Chelsea and commit his long-term future Stamford Bridge.
The Germany international, who fell badly out of favour under former boss Frank Lampard, recaptured his best form following the arrival of Thomas Tuchel and finished the campaign with a starting spot in the Champions League final.
Now, fresh reports indicate the 28-year-old is ready to sit down and talk about a contract extension - but is also 'willing to see out the final 12 months of his deal and leave for free next summer' if nothing materialises.
