Juventus unhappy with contract demands of Chelsea defender Rudiger

Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger has turned off Juventus with his contract demands.

The German is out of contract at the end of the season, but is so far yet to re-sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

Corriere Torino says Juventus are struggling to match Rudiger's demands. The report states that the Old Lady could still be £2.5million away from meeting the defender's required salary.

And that's before the negotiation of a signing on fee, which could amass an extra £2m as an incentive to encourage Rudiger to join forces at Juventus.

The Italian side haven't been the only team interested, with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also rumoured.
