Antonio Rudiger could be on his way back to the Premier League if his future at Real Madrid remains uncertain. According to GOAL, citing Sport Bild, Tottenham are keeping an eye on the situation surrounding the 33-year-old defender.
The German's contract with Real runs until 2027, with an option to extend for a further year. However, his future plans are still up in the air.
Sources indicate that Rudiger is looking to clarify his future by next spring. Until then, his focus will be on playing for the Madrid side under the stewardship of Jose Mourinho.
Recently, the defender has experienced a mix of starting matches and being benched. Nevertheless, he believes he is ready to continue performing at a high level, and his family has settled well in Madrid. It’s also reported that Mourinho was keen on extending Rudiger’s contract last summer.
Tottenham are monitoring the situation
If it becomes clear this winter that continuing with Real might not be in the cards, Rudiger could weigh up offers from other leagues, with the Premier League and Saudi Arabia among the possibilities.
Tottenham are particularly interested in the defender. A return to London could be tempting for Rudiger, who played for Chelsea from 2017 to 2022, winning the Champions League in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel. Moreover, he has strong ties to the city, as two of his children were born there.
No concrete decisions have been made yet. Rudiger intends to assess the situation closer to spring, with his next move likely hinging on his prospects at Real and any offers that may arise.
