Galatasaray ‘to target’ free transfer for Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger | OneFootball

Galatasaray ended the first half of the Trendyol Süper Lig on top and are exploring a summer move for Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer. According to Fanatik, the Istanbul club have set the Germany international as a leading target.

Rudiger is in the final months of his Bernabéu contract, which runs to 30 June, so he can speak to foreign clubs now.

The report says his future in Madrid is uncertain, and that while he remains influential in the dressing room he has not yet received a formal approach over an extension. It adds he is expected to depart in the summer, with any continuity said to hinge on his playing time through the rest of the season.

Galatasaray are said to be offering him a central role in their project, aiming to seize on the lack of movement from the Madrid hierarchy.

Landing a Champions League winner would reinforce their push to stay dominant in Türkiye and strengthen their European ambitions as the title race intensifies.
