Real Madrid Confidencial Antonio Rüdiger Defines His Future, There's Already a Date for His Departure from Real Madrid
The German has already made a decision about his future and is aiming for his departure from Madrid.
Rüdiger has become a essential pillar in Real Madrid's defense in recent years. It's true that upon his arrival at the white team, he struggled to find a place in the line-ups. But he knew how to seize the opportunity that came with his teammates' injuries.
He has secured not only a spot on the field and a position of hierarchy during matches, but he has also won over Madrid fans with his demeanor off the field. However, many are aware that he is in the final stage of his career.
He is 32 years old and therefore shouldn't have much time left at the highest level with Real Madrid. This is why there is talk of his possible departure, considering that his contract ends in 2026. Something that doesn't seem to cross his mind as he wants to continue with the white team.
Rüdiger is happy and very comfortable at Real Madrid, where he feels very loved by his teammates and the fans. For now, he will finish his contract with the merengue team. That ensures he will stay for another year, and if he continues performing well, extend it beyond June 30, 2026.
Real Madrid Considers Strengthening the Center of Defense, Although It's Not a Priority
At Real Madrid, they are very alert to the market with the idea of bringing in a central defender with a view to the future. Especially someone who can rotate with Militão and Asencio for many years. The age of Rüdiger and Alaba suggests considering possible replacements for them.
However, it's not a priority for this summer since both have active contracts and don't seem to be leaving. This means that the merengue club is in no hurry to bring someone in. 2026 is considered the key date to sign a central defender.
This is why they will be very alert to different names of interest with the idea of strengthening the position. Saliba's contract ends in 2027 and he could be an option if he decides not to renew. Although Arsenal is already trying to reach an agreement with him.
