Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Real Madrid intends to make its final decision regarding the future of German defender Antonio Rüdiger by the end of the current season, amid increasing external interest in the player's services.

Romano explained that clubs from the Saudi league have shown strong interest in signing the experienced defender, having closely monitored his situation for a long time, and have included him among their potential targets in the upcoming transfer market.

He pointed out that Real Madrid's management has not yet finalized its position, preferring to postpone the decision until after the season ends, to evaluate the team's sporting and technical situation, as well as the player's role and impact within the squad.

Rüdiger has been one of the defensive pillars for the royal team in recent seasons, making any decision regarding his future a subject of extensive discussion within the club, knowing that his contract expires at the end of the current season.
