Liverpool, Manchester United consider summer move for Antonio Rudiger

Liverpool and Manchester United could consider the idea of bringing Antonio Rudiger in when his contract expires in the summer.

According to Tutto Sport, Antonio Rudiger has emerged as a target for Liverpool and Manchester United. The Real Madrid veteran is set to come to the end of his contract at the Spanish giants, as the Premier League duo could explore a move on a Bosman deal in the summer.

Antonio Rudiger looks likely to leave Real Madrid in the summer as there are no talks of a potential contract extension. The Spanish giants are already looking into the market for new centre-backs, which may suggest the experienced German defender could be out of the club ahead of the summer.

Rudiger may have plenty of options ahead, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United considering an approach. The Premier League giants are in the market to strengthen their backline, which involves signing a new central defender.

The two teams are linked with Murillo of Nottingham Forest, while there are also reports stating common interest in Nathan Collins, for example. The Rudiger news might come as a bit of a surprise, given that the two teams are looking at a profile much younger than the experienced German star.

However, the idea of signing Rudiger may be part of their short to medium-term thinking, as adding the experienced veteran could prove useful. Real Madrid are not showing any signs of offering a new deal to the German, which could pave the way for a move, although recently Liverpool were reportedly uninterested.

Rudiger to the Premier League?

Rudiger may consider the idea of returning to the Premier League to keep playing at a top level in the coming years. He still has plenty left in the tank to help out a big club, and his qualities could prove useful for teams like Liverpool or Manchester United.

Liverpool are planning on signing a centre-back, while Manchester United are in a similar boat in that regard. It remains to be seen whether those two Premier League giants are serious about the German defender, especially given that he may be available on a free transfer.
