Cristiano’s Al Nassr wants to break the market, Real Madrid’s star they want to sign for more than $100M

Cristiano Ronaldo shined for Al Nassr this past season as he was the top goalscorer for the team and of the Saudi Pro League. Despite the incredible individual season, they did not win a major trophy ahead of Al Hilal, who were undefeated domestically. Al Nassr wants to sign many players this summer in order to compete with Al Hilal next season, who will have Neymar Jr. fit and ready to play. Ronaldo wants Al Nassr to sign his former teammates, but the club is looking to spend and sign one of the most important players in the Real Madrid squad. El Chiringuito TV reports that Al Nassr is offering $107 million to Antonio Rudiger, which includes his salary of €25M/year on a 4-year contract. The German defender has been crucial for Real Madrid and won his first Champions League trophy with the club and the second of his career. He is 31 years old, and his contract with the Spanish club expires in the summer of 2026.

Rudiger played a total of 48 matches for Real Madrid this past season across all competitions. He played in the Champions League, La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Copa del Rey. He scored two goals and provided three assists across all competitions. He won the Champions League, the La Liga title, and the Spanish Super Cup this past season with Real Madrid.

Rudiger signed for Real Madrid in the summer of 2022 from Chelsea as a free agent. He is currently valued at around $25 million on Transfermarkt. He has made a total of 101 appearances for Real Madrid since 2022 across all competitions. He was crucial for Real Madrid this season after the team suffered injuries in defenders like David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Nacho Fernandez. Along with Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, Rudiger is named one of the best players for Real Madrid this past season.

Who would Real Madrid replace Rudiger with?

Rudiger would fit right into the Al Nassr team along with Aymeric Laporte in the Saudi Pro League. The two would become the best center-back duo in Saudi Arabia, but it would leave Real Madrid desperate to fill in the gap. Real Madrid isn’t sure if their captain, Nacho Fernandez, will stay at the club since his contract expires on June 30th. The club has been linked with a young center back that is interested in joining as well.

Real Madrid could sign Leny Yoro from Lille to replace Rudiger if the Spanish club and the player decide to part ways. Real Madrid and Yoro have been in contact for a while, and the player is willing to join, but Lille will have to accept a transfer fee that they feel is right to accept. Manchester United and PSG are also interested in the player who is seen as a future defender for an elite club.
