Chelsea defender hints on remaining at Stamford Bridge because of family

In a latest report, Chelsea defender and Germany international Antonio Rudiger has hinted at remaining at Stamford Bridge.

Rudiger in his statement, stressed that his family “feel great” in London, which could make the German consider remaining in England.

This comes as the speculation surrounding the Chelsea centre-back’s future continues.

Rudiger is in the final six months of his contract with the Blues, meaning that he can hold talks with foreign clubs over a free transfer at the end of the season.

The reports claimed that Chelsea are finding it challenging to meet Rudiger’s demands, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Juventus all interested in signing him.

However, Rudiger has hinted that he could remain at Stamford Bridge with his family settled in London.

“Like always, I’m fully committed to the cause. Talks are between my side and the club, and that’s everything you need to know,” Rudiger told Sky Sports News.

“You have to think about your family. My kids were born here in London so that tells you that my family feel great here. The rest is up to other people to make decisions and then we will see if we come together or not.”

Rudiger, 28, remains a crucial player for Chelsea this season with 30 appearances in all competitions. He has three goals and four assists to his name.
