Tuchel Provides Definitive Update On Antonio Rudiger’s Chelsea Future Amid Contract Saga

“I don’t know if taking him for coffee will help… maybe it would push him out!” Thomas Tuchel quipped when asked whether he was working to convince Antonio Rudiger to sign a new deal.

“He needs to feel it by minutes and by actions. I don’t feel he needs a lot of words and pampering and coffee talks and invitations to dinner, and whatever.

“He is a top professional. This is what he proves and he is very important.

“It is a no problem situation for me,” the boss added.
