Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger has rejected a return to Chelsea.

The Germany international left Chelsea a year ago for Real Madrid, where he impressed at times last season.

Okdiario says Mauricio Pochettino has made contact with Rudiger about a return to Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino called Rudiger about joining him and helping rebuild the club.

But the former Blues defender turned down the Argentine's request as he's determined to make it as a Real Madrid player.
