Three Chelsea players will see their contracts expire in the summer, with none of them likely to be renewed. Anthonio Rudiger has been linked with a transfer to Real Madrid, while Andreas Christensen’s status is being closely monitored by Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Cesar Azpilicueta has fewer admirers, although he is on Barcelona’s defensive reinforcements list.
According to AS, the issue has prompted the club to investigate defensive options for the next summer transfer window. According to reports, Thomas Tuchel has asked the club to explore a move for Real Madrid centre-back Eder Militao.
The Brazil international has established himself as a crucial component for the Blancos following a €50 million move from Porto. Chelsea’s hierarchy, according to the Spanish source, are also fans of Militao and are planning to entice him away from the Spanish giants.
