Thomas Tuchel confirmed on Sunday that Antonio Rudiger plans to leave Chelsea at the end of the season. The German defender is out of contract in the summer and his time at Stamford Bridge looks to be up.
Tuchel told Sky Sports: "Toni, the media is on it. The situation is that he wants to leave the club. He informed me of this is in a private talk. We gave everything - me and the club - but we could not fight anymore because of the actions.
"Without the sanctions, we would at least be able to carry on fighting, but our hands are tied. We don't take it personally. It is his decision.
