Press reports revealed that the Real Madrid star is close to playing in the Saudi League through the portal of the Saudi Al-Ittihad team in the current summer Mercato.
The Saudi Al-Ittihad Castle management is seeking to conclude strong deals in order to correct the mistakes that occurred during the past season, in order to return to the podium again, after a bad season that ended with it occupying fifth place in the Rushen League.
The Saudi Al-Ittihad is seeking to include German star Antonio Rudiger to strengthen its team’s defense in the coming season, despite the difficulty of letting go of him from Real Madrid, considering that he is one of the defensive pillars within the squad of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.
According to the Spanish “Chiringuito” program, the Saudi Al-Ittihad Club wants to complete the contract of Rudiger to its ranks during the summer market period, after the approval of the player’s agent.
The program indicated that Antonio Rudiger will receive 15 million to 20 million euros per season if he agrees to move to Al-Ittihad Club.
Rudiger, 31, joined the Merengues in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea, and his current contract with the Royal Club extends until June 2026.
It is worth noting that the German defender gave a distinguished performance with Real Madrid last season, and contributed to the Royal Crown winning 3 championships, starting with the Spanish Super Cup last January, and winning the Spanish League and Champions League titles.
