Real Madrid has officially announced that Antonio Rüdiger has extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2027. The 33-year-old central defender's current deal was set to expire at the end of this month. Initial negotiations for a new agreement began last November but were paused after Rüdiger sustained an injury. Talks resumed once he returned to action and demonstrated his good physical condition.
Next season will mark the German's fifth year at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Following his appearance as a substitute in the match against Curaçao, Rüdiger stated that working with José Mourinho again was a dream come true for him. The Portuguese coach has also reportedly given his approval for the new contract.
In his four years with Real Madrid, he has made 182 appearances across all competitions, scoring eight goals and providing four assists.
