Antonio Rüdiger has become an undisputed part of Real Madrid. Since his arrival at the club, the German centre-back has proven to be a key player in defense, earning the respect of the fans and becoming an idol in the dressing room. He has become a pillar within the team thanks to his leadership and commitment, and his influence now could have a significant impact on the club's future transfers.
Antonio Rüdiger brings a top transfer closer to Real Madrid
Specifically, Rüdiger is playing a key role in one transfer. He is trying to convince his compatriot Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen to join Real Madrid. Although the German centre-back is one of the most coveted targets of the upcoming transfer market, several such as Bayern Munich and Barcelona have shown interest in him. However, Real Madrid, with Florentino Pérez at the helm, seem to have an advantage thanks to Rüdiger's intervention.
Florentino Pérez has a long history of success in the German market, having previously signed players such as Toni Kroos and David Alaba. Now, with Tah in their sights, the club are looking to secure a key reinforcement for their defense. It is clear that Real Madrid need players in defense and urgently. Nacho is gone, Alaba is injured and even if he returns there are only three centre-backs of quality at the best club in the world.
Barcelona are also interested in Jonathan Tah. They also have a card that could be a winner: their coach Hansi Flick, also German. Flick's game is liked and the project seems like it could be a winner in the medium term.

However, Rüdiger's influence has already had an impact. Add to this the appeal of Real Madrid's sporting project. This cocktail seems to be tipping the balance in favor of Los Blancos.
If Tah ends up opting for Real Madrid, it will be another great move for Florentino Pérez. Once again, Don Florentino signs a world-class player for free, something that only the capital seems to be able to do. And, of course, this is how a winning project that has been winning European Cups for a decade is perpetuated.
This transfer wouldn't only strengthen Real Madrid's defense, but would also be a major blow for Barcelona. The Catalans also have him on their list of targets.
Rüdiger has been fundamental in this process. If it finally comes to fruition, the German centre-back will not only be key on the field, but also off it. Antonio will help the club secure one of the most important transfers of the next summer market.
