CHELSEA YET TO GIVE UP ON RUDIGER DEAL

CHELSEA will renew their efforts to keep Antonio Rudiger with an improved contract offer amid hope the defender is open to staying at Stamford Bridge. Rudiger (below) is out of contract at the end of the season and his agents have held talks with foreign clubs over a potential free transfer this summer. Rudiger is in line to earn as much as £400,000 a week if he does leave on a free. Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are interested. It is thought Chelsea will offer £200,000 a week plus bonuses and a signingon fee.
