Renewal puzzle! Chelsea's 3 centre-backs renewed, Rudiger insisted on 400,000 and Tuchel was in trouble

Although Chelsea said that their current record has been greatly affected, their strength in the Premier League and the Champions League is still very trustworthy, as long as these players affected by injuries and the epidemic can come back, Chelsea is still one of the top teams in European football. However, Tuchel is not only facing injuries, but all of their centre-backs are facing a contract extension at the end of the season, and if they cannot successfully renew or bring in reinforcements, Tuchel's team strength will be greatly damaged.

The three centre-back players Chelsea have played the most this season are Rudiger, Christensen and Thiago Silva, which is the core of Tuchel's tactical three-centre-back system. Christensen aside, the other two players still have a lot of problems, such as Thiago Silva's age and Rudiger's annual salary. As a veteran, many fans were not particularly optimistic when Thiago Silva first moved to Chelsea, but after two seasons, it will be found that Thiago Silva is still in very good shape.

In addition to considering the problem of strength, it is also necessary to consider the overall problem of the team brought about by Rudiger's salary, if he is given such a high salary, then whether Havertz and others will also ask for a salary increase, which must be taken into account.
