The Telegraph: Rudiger is ready to hear a new offer from Chelsea and the team may offer loyalty bonuses

According to the Daily Telegraph, Rudiger is ready to listen to Chelsea's new contract offer.

Rudiger is ready to hear Chelsea's new contract offer, and given the possibility that he will receive a signing fee on the transfer, Chelsea may have to offer a high loyalty bonus to keep him.

Chelsea have yet to give up persuading Rudiger to stay in the squad, with the latest news saying the defender is ready to hear a new offer from the club. However, the club still has a big disadvantage in terms of competing with other clubs.

Real Madrid claimed their interest had cooled, which reassured Chelsea. Previously, Rudiger turned down Chelsea's first contract for £140,000 a week, with the player wanting a basic salary of nearly £200,000 a week.

While Rudiger wants to stay at Chelsea, he is unlikely to agree to give up the last chance of his career to sign a big contract, with Chelsea having the option of offering a signing fee to their players in the form of a loyalty bonus.

Rudiger is the same age as Lukaku, who signed a five-year contract with a weekly salary of around £325,000 when he moved from Inter milan to Chelsea last summer. While Rudiger's agent is likely to accept that Chelsea will not offer contract terms that match Lukaku's, Lukaku's contract is undoubtedly a reference for The Rudiger team.

Rudiger scored Chelsea's only goal in the second leg of this week's League Cup semi-final win over Tottenham and came up with the best performance. After the game, head coach Tuchel spoke optimistically about Rudiger's future, saying: "Everyone knows this – he's on contract at the end of the season, let's wait and see. Of course, we are confident of keeping him. We can provide what he wants, he's our player and Rudiger knows that very well. ”

In addition to discussing Rudiger's future, Chelsea are reassessing their options to find a replacement for injured left-back Chilwell. Lyon have rejected Chelsea's two attempts to recall Emerson, while Barcelona are ready to loan Dester to Chelsea for a permanent transfer. In fact, the 21-year-old can play right-back as well as left-back, and with Reece James also injured, Destin will be a potential proposition.

Marang Sal started against Tottenham, but Tuchel said the 22-year-old would not be the option to fill the left-back position in Chilwell's absence: "For me, he can play at the back as he did today. He can play at centre-back or in the left-centre-back position of a three-back. ”
