Chelsea fail to convince Antonio Rudiger to sign new contract, despite their latest offer of closer to £200,000 per week... leaving his future STILL uncertain with Real Madrid and PSG making pre-contract approaches for him

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger’s future remains uncertain with the club’s latest improved attempts to sign him to a new contract set to fail.

Sportsmail understands that talks between Chelsea and the Blues’ key defender over a contract extension have resumed, with the European champions eager to ensure Rudiger stays beyond his current deal that expires in the summer.

Rudiger, who currently earns in the region of £100,000-per-week, rejected the club’s original offer - believed to be in the region of £140,000-per-week.

During the latest round of discussions, it is understood the club informally offered Rudiger a new deal worth closer to the £200,000-per-week mark.
