Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger wants a higher salary to renew his contract with the club.

The German was out of favor early last season under Frank Lampard, but re-emerged as a first choice player under Thomas Tuchel.

The defender earns roughly £140,000 per week at the London club, per Eurosport.

Their reporter Dean Jones claims that given Chelsea's delays in holding contract talks, Rudiger's camp now wants a deal of £200,000 per week.

The defender knows his value is up after the club won the Champions League, while they would have to spend a huge sum to replace him in the transfer market.
