Tuchel admits: It's disturbing for us that Rudger is not signing the new contract.

Coach Thomas Tuchel admitted that it would be a concern to protect Chelsea if they lost defender Antonio Rudiger.

Germany entered last year of the contract and could leave in “Santiago Bernabau” If they fail to reach agreement on the new contract.

It's reported that Real Madrid, SPG, Bayern Munich and Juventus have opened negotiations to sign with Rudiger as a free agent in the summer.

But, Tuchel insists that Chelsea is trying to convince the defender to stay on the team even though the situation hasn't changed much.

When asked if Rudger will stay at Chelsea after last season, Tuchel replied: I can't predict the future.

I don't know if the representatives have talked to other clubs, if you know, enough to go to”.

“is probably possible because it is January and it has not yet signed. But, as it turns out we're communicating with him, the club is communicating, I know it's aware of what they want from them, and it's a high estimate of his work”.

The level he's playing with is too high and there's no doubt that this situation is disturbing to us. My goal is clear, the thought is clear, the club is doing its best, they're communicating, it hasn't changed much”, he said.

In the meantime, a challenge to Tottenham in the semifinals of Carabao Cup awaits Chelsea tomorrow.
