Antonio Rüdiger isn’t just focused on international duty during this break—he’s reportedly playing a key role in Real Madrid’s transfer strategy. With Florentino Pérez determined to strengthen the squad, particularly in defense, Rüdiger has been entrusted with a special task: to help convince two Bundesliga talents, Jonathan Tah and Florian Wirtz, to join the Santiago Bernabéu.
Since 2018, Real Madrid has been undergoing a gradual squad overhaul. While progress has been steady, recent injuries and shifting priorities have slowed the pace. Currently, defensive reinforcements are a top priority for club executives, as Carlo Ancelotti navigates the season with limited natural center-back options.
According to *Defensa Central*, Real Madrid sees Tah and Wirtz as key targets for the upcoming transfer window. Rüdiger, who previously played in Germany, has been tasked with promoting the club’s vision and highlighting the benefits of joining Los Blancos.
Despite interest from other top European clubs, Real Madrid remains optimistic about securing these signings. Meanwhile, the club is also working on contingency plans to ensure their squad remains competitive, regardless of the outcome of these pursuits. Rüdiger’s involvement underscores the club’s strategic approach in leveraging player relationships to achieve its goals.
