"It has already been written in the media. The situation is that 'Tony' wants to leave the club, he updated me on this in a personal conversation," Tuchel admitted to Sky, explaining that Chelsea would not meet Rodiger's high salary demands following the sanctions imposed on her by the British government. Due to the owner's affair with Abramovich with the Russian government, whose army invaded Ukraine two months ago.

"The club and I gave everything, but we were not able to fight anymore because of the actions taken against us. Without the sanctions at least we could have fought, but our hands are tied."

The coach added: "We do not take it personally. It is his decision. He is a key player and will remain so until the end of the season, but it is disappointing. He will miss us a lot, he injects courage in the locker room, one that everyone fears, but one that allows 50- "55 exceptional games a season. He is in the top of the defensive players in the last year and a half in my opinion. We will have to find another solution."
