Real Madrid is delighted with everything Antonio Rüdiger has contributed so far. He arrived in the summer of 2022 completely free after his contract with Chelsea ended, and little by little, he earned a starting position.
Antonio Rüdiger is at a point where he is indisputable, but it's time to discuss his renewal. His current contract actually ends on June 30, 2026. The plan is for him to continue, although there has been a surprise in the negotiations.
Antonio Rüdiger: Until 2028 with conditions
OKDiario has revealed that Madrid is willing to offer the German a contract until 2028, but with a small surprise. Instead of having all this time guaranteed, he would have to meet a series of conditions. Initially, he would sign until 2027, and he could extend it by one more year if he plays a minimum number of matches or minutes.
Antonio Rüdiger is a key piece in Madrid's defense, and the idea is for him to stay, of that no one has any doubt. The main point of friction lies in the duration of his contract. It is well known that Florentino, once past 30 years old, doesn't want to commit to long-term contracts and prefers to go year by year, taking the minimum possible risk.
From Madrid, they are clear: the ideal proposal for 'El Loco' Rüdiger would be to officially renew him until 2027. After that, his continuity would depend on his performances and his matches with the first team. By 2028, the German will be 35 years old, an age that would allow him to seek one last big salary outside of Europe.
Decided in Madrid: Antonio Rüdiger will have an offer and there is a victim
While, it has been decided to offer Rüdiger the renewal, something that will be done when this season ends, the idea is also to part ways with Alaba. The Austrian's contract with Madrid ends in 2026, and they will try to find him a new destination next summer
The idea is to put a proposal from Saudi Arabia on the table. Florentino would provide all possible facilities, trying to offload his salary (one of the three highest in the squad).
There will be changes this summer in Madrid's defense, but the plan is clear with Rüdiger: he must continue, setting conditions in his new contract. 'El Loco' wants to stay, but it remains to be seen what decision he makes.
