A Real Madrid defender is reportedly more likely to leave the club than stay next summer, according to a Blancos insider. The defender in question is Antonio Rüdiger, who has been playing a supporting role this season behind Dean Huijsen and Ibrahima Konaté. Rüdiger has only started in two of Real Madrid's eight matches across all competitions, raising concerns about his defensive abilities.
With Éder Militão returning to full fitness, it is expected that he will be pushed further down José Mourinho's priority list. Rüdiger's contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the 2026/27 season, making it highly probable that he will be leaving the club next summer.
