The central defender of Real Madrid, Antonio Rudiger transfer Interest from Saudi Pro League Side al Nassr.
With 32 and in the last 14 months of his contract there is of course speculation about the future of Rudiger. Madrid was strongly connected to numerous youthful central defenders, including the Premier League pairing by Dean Huijsen and Arsenal star from Bournemouth, William Saliba, while preparing what the Spanish press described as a “transfer facelifting” this summer.
However, Rudiger is not quite ready to be cut.
“You never know in football, but where I am now, I am really, very happy,” said the German international before the country’s quarter-finals in the Nations Nations League about Italy. “I’m not looking forward to going soon. That’s it.”
Everything indicates that Madrid Manager Carlo Ancelotti is the same. The Italian coach is never shy to praise his “warrior” defender, who was remarkably durable in a season that was littered with defensive absences for the Spanish champions.
However, the attraction of the wealth of Saudi Arabian football can be difficult to resist. Al Nassr identified Rudiger as the ideal replacement for Aymeric Laporte if the Spanish central defender leaves this summer this summer, says Saudi Outlet 365 Scores (above SPORT).
Ironically, Real Madrid was one of numerous European pages associated with a change for laporte, which despite the third best club in Saudi Arabia remained an integral part of the Spanish national team.
The former defender of Manchester City is two years younger than the rudder, but his ex-Schelsea counterpart has proven to be reliable in the highest European football. Liverpools Virgil van Dijk, one of the few central defenders in the world, who was able to consider the Rudiger caliber’s caliber, summarized the integral status of the German at the beginning of this season at Real Madrid.
When it was transferred to Van Dijk whether he could switch to a Real -Madrid team that lacks defensive solidity, he bluntly replied: “Antonio Rudiger is there, no?” If the rudder has a say on this matter, it will stay in Madrid.
