Real Madrid extends Antonio Rudiger's contract until summer 2027

Real Madrid has finalized a one-year contract extension for defender Antonio Rudiger, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027. Although Rudiger initially sought a two-year extension, he accepted the club's policy of offering players over 30 only one-year deals. The 33-year-old's commitment reflects his role as a leader in the squad and his intention to remain part of Real Madrid’s ongoing project, despite interest from other clubs including those in Saudi Arabia. Both Rudiger and the club are open to revisiting contract negotiations next summer if their relationship continues positively.
