London's "Chelsea" main defender Antonio Rudiger's contract is approaching its end, and both sides fail to agree on a new one. The German wants a significantly higher salary than in his current contract. However, he partly deserves it, as last season he greatly contributed to Chelsea's triumph in the UEFA Champions League and continues to play well in the Premier League. A. Rudiger commented on this: "Speculations about my contract? I do not think about it. I am focused on what I need to do, because of this I wake up every day. "Tuchel gave me a new chance. I want to show everything on the field, he wants me to be a leader," the German told "The Guardian".
