According to the publication, Bayern, Tottenham Hotspur and Paris-Saint Germain are among a number of top clubs who have been alerted to Rudiger's situation in west London.

It is believed the three clubs are already looking to test Chelsea's resolve for the experienced defender who has formed a huge part of Thomas Tuchel's success at Stamford Bridge.

While Rudiger is staring at an uncertain future with the Blues, Tuchel views him as an integral member of his squad, with reports suggesting the former PSG tactician is desperate to keep him.

It is believed Chelsea have since offered him a bumper deal of £120,000-a-week to stay with them but Rudiger is still keeping the club in a nervous wait as he mulls over his options.

However, speaking on his current situation on Tuesday, October 5, the centre-back dropped the biggest hint yet that he is ready to stay with the Blue side of London by putting pen to paper.
