Antonio Rudiger pushing for new Real Madrid contract extension

Antonio Rudiger’s future at Real Madrid remains very much alive, with the club open to extending his stay beyond the end of his current deal, which runs until 30 June 2026.

The 32-year-old German centre-back has battled fitness issues this season but has impressed since returning, re-establishing himself as a reliable presence in defence.

Inside the dressing room, Rudiger is regarded as a leader and a key voice, something that strengthens his case for a new contract. The former Chelsea defender’s position looks more secure thanks to his form, attitude, and consistency when available.

So far, there have been no formal talks between Real Madrid and Rudiger’s camp over fresh terms. Those discussions are expected to take place later in the season and will likely depend on how he performs and stays fit during the decisive final months. For now, all options remain open, but both his influence on the pitch and his standing in the squad make a continued partnership between Rudiger and Real Madrid a genuine possibility.
