Real Madrid recently connected a renewal for experienced goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who expands his deal until 2027. It leaves Los Blancos with three players in their team who no longer have a contract next summer, all of which are in different situations
Their club policy to only distribute one -year contract innovations to players over thirty, generally means that there are several players to compete every year to compete for their future. This summer it was Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez, both from whom Real Madrid decided to continue.
Perhaps the most surprising attitude is with regard to Antonio Rudiger. The 32-year-old is the only constant at the back for Carlo Ancelotti in the last two seasons, until April, when he picked up a long suspension and underwent surgery. Early arthritis in his knee makes the club concerned about its viability in the long term.
Diario As explained that Rudiger was to bring an offer to the table this summer, they would consider it. Saudi Arabia has shown interest in Rudiger lately.
Perhaps Dani Carvajal has the 'safest' of the trio, a strong report of versions to fall back. However, his future will depend on his output this season and how he returns from an injury, taking into account the fact that he now has to compete with Trent Alexander-Arnold for a place in the starting XI. A factor that works to his advantage is that Carvajal will request the side this year and be a leader in the dressing room, although this Los Blancos has not previously retained players.
After 18 months without consistent football it is fair to say that there are considerable doubts about David Alaba's assets to return to his level. The 34-year-old underwent more operation in May and is expected to be released for a few months. As one of the highest earners in the team, Real Madrid will probably continue from him this year or next.
