Chelsea have reportedly made another contract extension offer to keep Antonio Rudiger at the club beyond the end of the season.
Sportsmail revealed the club informally offered the Germany international a new deal worth closer to the £200,000-per-week mark last week.
The improved offer however still fell short of what is required to persuade the Germany international to commit his future to the Stamford Bridge club.
But Goal now claim a bid even closer to that £200,00-per-week demand has been submitted to the 28-year-old and his representatives, with the club desperate not to lose too many defenders on free transfers this summer.
