Antonio Rüdiger and Real Madrid have reached a verbal agreement on a new contract that will keep the German defender at the Santiago Bernabéu until June 2027, Softfootball can confirm.

Sources indicate that the Real Madrid’s new manager José Mourinho has given signal he wants the ex chelsea defender Rüdiger to remain a key part of his squad, and the club moved quickly to secure the centre‑back’s future. Rüdiger has accepted Real Madrid’s proposal, with only formal documentation and timing left to finalise.
Softfootball gathered from external sources that the official announcement is being coordinated around the club’s ongoing election process, meaning the timing will be dictated by internal administrative schedules rather than sporting delays.
