Man Utd and Liverpool 'make contact to sign former Chelsea star'

Antonio Rudiger, out of contract at Real Madrid, attracts interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, and Juventus as clubs seek defensive reinforcements this summer.

  • Manchester United and Liverpool have registered interest in signing Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer this summer, with both clubs making contact to confirm their intent.
  • The German defender has yet to agree on an extension to his current contract, which expires at the end of the season, creating the free-transfer opportunity.
  • Head coach Luciano Spalletti at Juventus is a significant admirer of Rudiger after they worked together at Roma between 2015 and 2017, and the Italian club missed out on him four years ago.
  • Liverpool face uncertainty with Ibrahima Konate's future unresolved and Virgil van Dijk entering the final year of his contract, while Manchester United could seek defensive reinforcements this summer.
  • Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid could still extend the 33-year-old's stay at the Bernabeu; Rudiger spent five seasons at Chelsea winning the Europa League and Champions League before joining Real Madrid in 2022.
