According to The Athletic journalist Mario Cortegana, Real Madrid are in talks with Rudiger over a contract extension, and the whole team believes the player will stay.
It is reported that German international defender Rudiger is in talks with Real Madrid over a contract extension. The 33-year-old's current contract expires at the end of this season, and if an extension is not reached, he will become a free agent this summer.
Currently, the two sides have not reached an agreement, and negotiations are ongoing, with the final outcome expected to be finalized next week.
Anonymous sources within the team revealed that the entire team believes Rudiger will remain with the team next season, and Mourinho is expected to return to the Bernabéu as Real Madrid's first-team head coach.
Real Madrid has a clear rule: players aged 30 and over are only offered one-year short-term contract extensions. Therefore, once a new contract is reached, Rudiger is likely to extend his contract until the summer of 2027.
