Manchester United's interest in the 33-year-old German centre-back Antonio Rüdiger is conditional on Harry Maguire's departure. The defender is also a target for Juventus, and an initial exploratory call has taken place between the player's agent and Comolli. There is competition for the player from Saudi Arabia and the Premier League. Liverpool might become an interested party in the Premier League if Real Madrid were to lose Rüdiger for free and then attempt to sign Konaté. Rüdiger joined Real Madrid in July 2022 and has a contract until June 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €9.00m. The German international has 81 caps, and has made 12 appearances in LaLiga this season, scoring one goal. Real Madrid's asking price for the player was reportedly €10 million in January and February 2026.
