Real Madrid allow key defender to take control of his future | OneFootball

Antonio Rudiger’s future at Real Madrid has been the subject of constant discussion in recent months, but a new update suggests the club is deliberately pressing pause before making any definitive call. 

According to a recent report from Fichajes, Real Madrid have decided to postpone any decisions regarding Rudiger’s future. 

While there has been no shortage of speculation surrounding his contract situation, the club believes the timing is not right to commit either way. 

It is important to remember that Rudiger’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season. 

Despite this, the club fully acknowledges the importance he has had over the past few campaigns. 

No decision yet

Those within the Santiago Bernabeu offices feel it is still too early to reach a final verdict. 

The German defender’s performances during the decisive stretch of the season will play a key role in shaping the club’s stance. 

Equally important will be his physical condition, especially after dealing with recent injury setbacks.

Real Madrid want clarity on whether he can maintain consistency at the highest level before committing to a renewal.

It is said that in a recent conversation, Rudiger was informed that the official position is to wait. 

There will be no rushed decisions and no promises that cannot be honoured. Everything will depend on his form and, above all, how his body responds in the coming months.

Nothing is ruled out

A contract extension is not ruled out, but it is far from guaranteed. At the same time, the club is weighing his age and the physical wear accumulated over recent seasons, factors that heavily influence long-term planning.

Any potential renewal would likely come with reduced duration and financial terms compared to offers available in other markets.

Another significant detail is that Real Madrid have explicitly allowed Rudiger to listen to offers from other clubs. 

The club understands his need for contractual security and does not want to restrict him while their internal evaluation continues. 

As a result, the German centre-back is under no obligation to wait for Madrid’s final decision.
