According to reports from the Daily Mail, Chelsea are looking to offer a new contract to Antonio Rudiger as they fear rival Premier League clubs could move for him.
The 26-year-old has just over 18 months left on his contract at Chelsea. With both Manchester City and Tottenham expected to be in the transfer market for a new central defender next summer, the Blues fear they might lure Rudiger away from Stamford Bridge.
The German international joined Chelsea in 2017 from Serie A giants AS Roma for a reported fee of £29 million.
