Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing AS, reported Tuesday that the 33-year-old defender accepted a one-year add-on that runs through June 2027.
- The terms align with Real Madrid’s policy of offering single-year deals to players over 30 after Rüdiger had pushed for two extra years.
- Reporting from Spain and Germany says he rejected a richer proposal from Saudi Arabia to continue in Madrid.
- Fabrizio Romano also reported an agreement, adding weight to accounts that frame the deal as part of Real’s defensive planning.
- Coverage in BILD and Sportbild says Dani Carvajal’s exit is set and David Alaba is unlikely to stay, with Real assessing options such as Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol, while Rüdiger rebounded from an operation to regain form this spring.
