Antonio Rüdiger will remain at Real Madrid after agreeing to extend his stay with the club, securing the continuity of one of the team's defensive leaders.

The German center-back reached an agreement following several months of negotiations, with the prospect of working under José Mourinho reportedly playing an important role in his decision.

Following Germany's World Cup opener against Curaçao, Rüdiger spoke about the arrival of the Portuguese coach.

“It’s a dream to work with him.”

The defender is said to be highly motivated by the new project and views the upcoming season as an opportunity to help the team return to success.

Explaining his decision on social media, Rüdiger reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid and the challenges ahead.

“I'm not finished here. Renewing my journey with Real Madrid is a proud moment, but more than anything, it's a commitment to turning things around alongside my teammates. We're going through a demanding phase. Setbacks have tested us, but this is exactly where I want to be.”

“Some people may have written me off after my injuries, but that only motivated me even more. So thank you for that.”

The German international concluded his message by emphasizing the unity within the squad and his determination to overcome recent difficulties.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I love challenges and that although things haven't been easy this past season, my conviction remains absolute: we are united, we fight together, and we will overcome this together. Now more than ever. Hala Madrid!”
