Antonio Rudiger
February 2026
Spurs are reportedly preparing a contingency plan that includes targeting Rudiger on a free if his Real Madrid deal is not renewed, with talk of Romero being courted by Real Madrid and other Spanish giants. Reports frame Rudiger as a short-term, high-level replacement option if Romero leaves. Real Madrid are said to be weighing Rudiger’s recent injury record and would only offer a one-year extension, pushing him toward a longer deal elsewhere.
