Bayern Munich have reportedly reached out to Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger’s agent over a potential move for the Germany international centre-back who faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
Rudiger has his deal running out in the Chelsea shirt in less than ten months and despite the club’s repeated attempts to tie him down to an extension, the player might look to seal a move elsewhere with the likes of PSG and Real Madrid rumoured to be in the fray.

Wage demands are understood to be the stalling point in the talks between the two parties and as they drag on, reports from Christian Falk have claimed that Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich too are weighing up a move for the 28-year-old Rudiger.
The Germans are keeping close tabs on the Chelsea contract rebel and have reportedly touched base with Sahr Senesie, Rudiger’s brother and agent, to step up their interest in signing the player next summer.
Falk, however, adds to his report that Rudiger and his representatives remain in the mix to agree upon a new deal at Stamford Bridge beyond the next summer’s transfer window.
