Antonio Rudiger backs Real Madrid's potential move for Nico Schlotterbeck, saying he'd be delighted to have the player on the team.
What sparked the interest?
Rudiger's comments came during a press conference where he discussed various aspects of his club career.
The center-back highlighted Schlotterbeck's excellent distribution from the back and his intense one-on-one duels.
Why it matters for Antonio Rudiger
Rudiger's presence at Real Madrid is guaranteed for next season after his one-year renewal was officially announced.
He will be one of the leaders of the team, especially with the departure of Dani Carvajal and David Alaba.
What comes next?
Rudiger is currently playing for Germany in the World Cup and expressed his excitement about playing under Jose Mourinho.
He had a difficult season last year due to physical problems but managed to come back and earn a new contract.
And he never thought about leaving Real Madrid, considering it his home.
The team has enough decisive players to win big trophies, according to Rudiger, who mentioned players like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
Rudiger's potential partnership with Schlotterbeck in the backline could be a strong one, given their skills and experience.
But it's difficult to predict which players will start, with several center-backs available for selection.
Rudiger's contract renewal was announced two days ago, securing his spot at Real Madrid for another year.
The player's family is also comfortable in Madrid, which was a factor in his decision to stay.
