AS Roma defender Rudiger snubs Chelsea move
Rudiger is a long time target of the Premier League giants, so much so Conte already tried to bring the Germany International to the Stamford Bridge last summer, before 23-year-old defender picked up a knee injury which is being keeping him out of action in the opening games of the 2016-17 campaign.
Rudiger, however, is not open to join the Stamford Bridge outfit in the January window.
No secret that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is actively looking for a new centre-back to sign in the winter transfer window and the Italian tactician has set sights on many Serie A players who could enhance the Blues’ defensive line.
Rudiger, however, is not the only Serie A defender on Conte’s shopping list as Juventus star Leonardo Bonucci and AC Milan centre-back Alessio Romagnoli are also known to be long time targets of the former Juventus boss.
