Liverpool have been linked with Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger in recent days.

According to Eurosport, the Anfield outfit is one of several Premier League clubs looking at the Blues star.

Along with Liverpool, the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham are also apparently eyeing the defender.

However, Fabrizio Romano has poured cold water on links with Liverpool, claiming the Reds haven’t yet made an approach.

Rudiger has become a key part of the Chelsea line-up, helping his side win the Champions League last season.

Thomas Tuchel’s arrival at the London club saw the 28-year-old return to prominence following speculation linking him with a move away the previous summer.

However, he is in the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and negotiations are yet to yield a breakthrough.

Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE, Romano has provided an update on Rudiger’s contract talks with Chelsea, before touching on the Liverpool speculation.

“I’m told they (Chelsea) are still talking with Rudiger’s agents, so it’s not over yet because Rudiger would love to stay,” he said.

“But he wants an important contract, he thinks he deserves an important contract.”

“He’s not so young so he wants an important contract also because it’s the final part of his career.

“At the moment they have no… financial or economical agreement.

“I was told a few days ago it was far from being reached, so it’s a dangerous situation for Chelsea.

“About Liverpool, I am told that at the moment they’ve made yet no approach with his agents.

“Let’s see what happens in the coming months, but for Liverpool there is still no approach.”
