Chelsea veteran defender Antonio Rudiger breaks his silence amid the looming uncertainty behind his contract.
Despite a progressive season with the Blues, resulting in a Champions League trophy, Rudiger deals with contract issues and continuous rumors regarding his future with the club.
The German's existing deal with the club is set to expire next summer— prompting negotiations with foreign clubs if no agreement with Chelsea is finalized by January 1, 2022.
Rudiger stresses his overall morale with Chelsea, explaining that these talks are related to what he actually feels about the club.

“The most important thing is that I feel happy here. I think if people look at it, they can see I'm happy,” the Chelsea defender told The Guardian.
“About the contract situation, I talk with the club. This is for nobody's ears. It was how I said it would be after the Euros – there would be talks.”
“There was a talk between Marina and my agent. We have the situation where we are at now and I have nothing to do with all the speculation.”
“This is not in my mind. I'm focused on what I'm doing because this is why I wake up every mornin,”
Today, Chelsea is ahead of the pack in England, showing world-class displays so far in the Premier League— allowing the Blues to sit on top of the table. Still, a vast amount of the club's recent success is owed to Rudiger. So, if they wish to have a continuity of solid defense, they should keep him.
