Tottenham Monitor Madrid Star for the Summer Transfer Window
Mansion Sports – Real Madrid are at risk of losing several important players when their contracts expire at the end of this season.
David Alaba is almost certain to leave the club, and two other names who could potentially follow are Dani Carvajal and Antonio Rudiger.
In Rudiger’s case, he still has the opportunity to prove his quality until the end of the season.
Real Madrid’s management are reportedly paying close attention to his fitness condition, considering that over the past 12 months he has frequently struggled with injuries.
If he is unable to fully recover and demonstrate convincing performances, it would not be surprising if the club decide not to extend his contract.
Should that situation truly occur, Rudiger is believed to have no shortage of interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are reportedly monitoring his situation at the Santiago Bernabeu, while Tottenham Hotspur have even considered the possibility of signing him on a free transfer once his status changes to a free agent, as reported by TEAMtalk via ED.
Tottenham Prepare Rudiger as Anticipation for Cristian Romero’s Departure
Tottenham are reportedly concerned about losing their key defender, Cristian Romero, who in recent weeks has frequently been linked with a potential move to Atletico Madrid or Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In that context, Rudiger is considered the right figure to fill the void should Romero indeed depart.
Beyond experience and quality, the opportunity to acquire Rudiger without a transfer fee is an important consideration for Spurs.
This makes him an attractive option both financially and strategically to strengthen their defensive line.
The Step Real Madrid Should Take Regarding Rudiger
This season has been very challenging for Rudiger. Since August, he has made only nine appearances in all competitions.
With that record, it is understandable if Real Madrid question his physical condition. If he is unable to overcome the injury problems that have continued to trouble him in recent months, retaining him may not be a rational decision, even though his experience and leadership on the field remain highly valuable.
The coming months will be a decisive period for Rudiger’s future. He is said to prioritize staying at Real Madrid rather than considering other options.
He has now returned to full fitness, giving him the opportunity to soon reclaim a place in the starting lineup under the guidance of Alvaro Arbeloa.
The coach could call upon him to feature in this weekend’s match against Real Sociedad, who are currently in impressive form at the Santiago Bernabeu.
