World Sports: 32-year-old German central defender Rudiger has renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 2027, and he is still a key member

According to World Sports, the 32-year-old German central defender Rudiger has renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 2027.

The media revealed that Rudiger has completed the contract renewal. The German central defender had finalized a contract extension a few months before the knee surgery, and the contract was extended by one year to June 2027. Given that Rudiger is currently 32 years old, Real Madrid only offers a single-season renewal clause. After Rudiger fulfills this extended contract, he will be at least 34 years old.

Although he has just recovered, he still plays 5 games in the Club World Cup and starts three times, and his playing time has gradually increased in Xavi Alonso's system. Against Paris is his fifth game in the event, and in the third game against Salzburg, he has played 67 minutes and started in the remaining three games. Although a major mistake in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on Wednesday sparked doubts from the outside world, this did not affect Rudiger's status in Real Madrid.

Before being injured in the Copa del Rey final, Rudiger was a key player in Ancelotti's coaching Real Madrid. In fact, he played a total of 4,540 minutes last season, 29 of which were La Liga. He also played 13 Champions League games, missing only the first leg of the Champions League qualifying play-off against Manchester City, and scored 2 goals in the Champions League.

In addition, he also played in the European Super Cup, 3 Cups of Kings (1 goal), 2 Super Cups of Spain and InterContinental Cup. In the view of Xavi Alonso, Rudiger will remain a key player in the team in the 2025-2026 season.
