Rudiger's Real Madrid Future in Focus
Mystery surrounds Antonio Rudiger's future at Real Madrid as his contract runs out at season's end.
According to ESPN, Madrid is ready to offer a new contract, but the German defender is weighing other options.
ESPN adds that Rudiger finds a move to the Roshn Saudi League appealing in the twilight years of his career, especially as injuries have slowed him.
Free Transfer and Saudi Dream
With the contract expiring in June 2026, the 32-year-old could leave Madrid on a free transfer.
The Touchline on X says Saudi football is among his top career wishes.
Humor aside, at 32 he still looks sharp enough to cut through defenses—though maybe not through a Saudi tax law.
Seriously though, if the money's right, Rudiger will visit Saudi Arabia faster than you can say 'transfer window'.
