PSG & Real Madrid keeping tabs on Rudiger's Chelsea contract situation as Blues may not meet his demands

The Blues are still interested in signing Sevilla defender Jules Kounde amid uncertainty over the future of the Germany international

Chelsea have opened talks with Antonio Rudiger over a new contract but remain cautious over his demands, with both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid keeping an eye on the situation.

The two European giants will be able to sign the Germany international in January on a pre-contract agreement, with the defender's current deal expiring in the summer of 2022.

Despite interest from abroad, Goal can confirm that the 28-year-old would be happy to stay put in west London as long as his contract demands are met, with Rudiger believing this will likely be the last big-money deal of his career.
