Thomas Tuchel got his weekly Antonio Rudiger question today, a light hearted one this time, and he responded with a smile.
He was asked what he could do to persuade the defender to sign a new contract after further signs this week that he was going to be on his way before long.
Tuchel rejected the idea he might take his compatriot out for coffees to woo him, joking that that might in fact have the opposite effect and end up encouraging the defender to leave.

why wouldn’t he sign, they even offered him the same salary as kepa!
