Chelsea ace Rudiger rejects PSG after talks with Hazard, Courtois about Real Madrid

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has snubbed a pre-contract offer from PSG.

Reports in France revealed PSG have tabled a contract worth £110k-a-week to the German centre-back.

However, Rudiger is still determined to join Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The Telegraph claims the 29-year-old has spoken with former Chelsea teammates Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard about joining Los Blancos.

Real's offer is said to be lower than PSG's, but the drop is not significant enough for Rudiger to give up his dream of playing for the Bernabeu outfit.

Blues manager Thomas Tuchel has not given up on convincing Rudiger to stay at Stamford Bridge.

The former Roma man will be out of contract at the end of this season.

Rudiger is also aware of interest from fellow Premier League club Manchester United.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick reportedly has a strong relationship with Rudiger's brother, who is also his agent.
