According to the report on GOAL, Antonio Rudiger explained that he had offers to leave Chelsea during the January transfer window.
''I had really two main teams that maybe wanted me and that I was considering.
"It was PSG, to be honest, and with Mourinho at Tottenham. But this is something that didn't happen. With Tuchel, it didn't happen. I was a bit upset because I knew that I wouldn't often play in my situation.
"Then I had a talk with the ex-coach of Lampard and I was suddenly back in the team but on the bench. I had a couple of games and I worked my way back.''
