Antonio Rudiger, Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho
16 June 2026
Antonio Rudiger has signed a one-year Real Madrid contract extension, keeping him at the club until June 2027. The 33-year-old Germany defender had been nearing the end of his previous deal and wanted longer-term security.
Madrid stuck to their policy of short extensions for older players, but still wanted Rudiger’s experience during Jose Mourinho’s rebuild. The deal follows Marc Cucurella’s arrival and expected defensive changes involving Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.
