Real Madrid Confidencial Arabia comes with a fortune for 4 Real Madrid players
These footballers have been 'approached' by Saudi Arabia, but they all want to stay at Real Madrid
The economic power of Saudi Arabia is always present in Real Madrid's offices. Several players have been "approached" by various Middle Eastern clubs with tempting and alluring offers. Specifically, four.
This is the case for Brahim Díaz, Bellingham, Vinícius, and Rodrygo Goes. All of them have caught the attention of the Saudi investment fund, which hasn't hesitated to go after each of them. However, in the upper management at Chamartín, they haven't feared for the continuity of these players.
Florentino Pérez is very clear that they're young and that leaving the Merengue club would mean taking many steps back in their respective careers. After all, they're at the best club in the world and, as such, they're not thinking about changing their environment. Much less to do so in a completely inferior league.
The situation is different with Rüdiger
Another matter could be, for example, that of Antonio Rüdiger. The German center-back will likely end up leaving for Saudi Arabia at the end of the current season. His contract ends in 2026 and, in addition, he's already over the age of 30.
The sporting management considers that he's delivered good athletic performance over these years and highlights that he joined the club as a free agent. Therefore, he's a center-back who's more than paid off and who's delivered outstanding performance throughout these years. Even in the current season, he could be very important, although Xabi Alonso is clear that he'll need to manage his playing time.
He played quite a lot in the last season with Carlo Ancelotti on the bench. The Italian coach had to face a complicated situation due to multiple absences in the defensive line. For this reason, he turned to Rüdiger on many occasions until his knee gave out in the Copa del Rey final.
Regardless of what happens from now on, in the Valdebebas offices, they insist that they're happy with him and very grateful for everything he's given. The player is the first to know that he's been up to the task in numerous matches, but now he'll likely already be thinking about a new season.
