The Athletic reports Rudiger is not in any rush to discuss his future at Stamford Bridge, as he wants to focus on Euro 2020, where he represents Germany.<\/p>\n

But the 28-year-old also knows whatever contract he signs next will probably be his career\u2019s last big one.<\/p>\n

Rudiger is currently outside the top 10 even though he has played a major role in the Blues\u2019 recent success.<\/p>\n
