In the latest video released by a well-known journalist, the futures of Real Madrid players David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger were discussed.
The remarks in the video stated: “Regarding Real Madrid's first team, there are two important things. First, I can confirm the news I have been telling everyone for months—Alaba is expected to leave Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer. As of today, there have been zero contract renewal talks, neither financial nor sporting discussions. From what I know, the possibility of Alaba leaving is extremely high; I would say there is a 98% chance we will see Alaba leave Real Madrid this summer to embark on a new chapter in his career.”
“As for Rüdiger, Saudi sides still maintain great interest and attention in him. Neither Real Madrid nor Rüdiger himself has made a decision yet, as everyone is focusing on the current season. We know Real Madrid is used to handling contracts of players over 30 at or near the end of the season, and Rüdiger’s situation is no exception. Saudi clubs made an offer before, but it was rejected because Real Madrid trusted him at that time and he also wanted to stay.”
"Now we will wait and see in 2026 whether Real Madrid decides to let him go, sign a new contract, and what Rüdiger’s own wishes are. Saudi clubs will keep a close eye on the situation."
