Real Madrid Reportedly Unlikely to Extend Antonio Rüdiger's Contract

Madrid, Spain – July 29, 2025 – Reports from Spain indicate that Real Madrid are increasingly unlikely to offer veteran defender Antonio Rüdiger a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in June 2026. This comes as the club looks to reshape its defensive line with younger talent and adhere to its policy regarding players in their thirties.

According to a recent report by AS, Real Madrid are planning for a future without both Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba. While Rüdiger's situation is seen as slightly more favorable than Alaba's due to his willingness to play through injuries last season, the club has reportedly made no significant moves to initiate contract talks with either player.

Real Madrid's long-standing policy typically sees players aged 30 and above offered only one-year extensions, if any. Both Rüdiger, who is 32, and Alaba, 33, fall into this category. The club's focus appears to be on integrating younger defensive options like 20-year-old Dean Huijsen and 22-year-old Raul Asencio, who has recently penned a professional deal.

Furthermore, the anticipated return of Eder Militão from injury will add to the competition in the central defense. Real Madrid are also reportedly keen on Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract expires next summer, and hope he will choose a move to the Santiago Bernabéu, which would further diminish Rüdiger's chances of an extension.

Despite Rüdiger's dedication and strong performances, particularly during the club's defensive injury crisis last season where he played through pain, the general outlook for a renewal remains dim. While a definitive decision is expected at the end of the upcoming season, the club's strategy points towards a significant overhaul of its defensive ranks, making it improbable that Antonio Rüdiger will continue his career at Real Madrid beyond 2026.
