Chelsea had reportedly offered the 28-year-old around £140,000 a week, which was rejected at the time, but manager Thomas Tuchel seems to have played a big part in bringing both parties back to the negotiating table.
Tuchel and Co. don’t have too long to convince the centre-back as a player is allowed to negotiate a pre-contract with foreign sides once they enter the final six months of their contract, according to the rules.
Despite this, the former Borussia Dortmund manager was optimistic about a deal happening when asked: “We have confidence (to keep him) and have things to offer. He is the player he is in a Chelsea shirt and in the Chelsea environment. I think he knows that very well”.
