Chelsea are preparing a backup for the German Defender Antonio Rudiger who has emerged as one of the best defender for Chelsea, helping them to a victorious Champions league winning last season. But this season he also continued with is unbeatable form which keep Chelsea ahead in the Premier League table. Antonio Rudiger is however in the last year of his contract and he has refused to extend his contract with the Blues. Several offer has been given to him but he is insisting on a higher pay which the club is not ready to give him due to some reason.

If Antonio Rudiger refused to accept the offer given to him, he will be leaving the Stamford Bridge on a free transfer which several teams are already waiting to get his signature. Chelsea are in talked with Sevilla to get their main target this summer, there have been an offer of £42.5M made by Chelsea to Sevilla but they rejected the offer and they are expecting nothing less than the release clause of £68.5M. Chelsea could increase their next bid if there is a much need to sign Jules Kounde but that will be done hopefully before the coming summer.

With current Financial issue with Sevilla, Chelsea can take the advantage to get Jules Kounde at that price proposed which was rejected. The amount offer for the player will be able to clear Sevilla from the financial crisis which they are currently in. Kounde is willing to go to Chelsea but Sevilla is the issue the player is having, if the agreement is reached on time he will be at London next summer.
