Tuchel claims Chelsea confident re-signing Rudiger amid PSG, Real Madrid links

Thomas Tuchel says Chelsea are confident of keeping Antonio Rudiger.

The German is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from this month onwards as his current deal is set to expire in June.

Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have all been linked with the 29-year-old.

Rudiger scored the winning goal against Tottenham on Wednesday to book Chelsea's place in the Carabao Cup final, and Tuchel believes he will commit his future to the west London club.

"Everybody knows [the situation - he is out of contract at the end of the season], let's wait and see. Of course [we are confident of keeping him]," Tuchel said.

"We have things to offer and he is the player he is in a Chelsea shirt and a Chelsea environment. He knows that very well."
