Real Madrid cannot afford to lose Rudiger because any scenario that takes him away from the club would be disastrous for Real Madrid’s ambitions this season. With the persistent injury of David Alaba and the absence of Militao, Rudiger and Nacho were the only available options in the heart of defense. But now, with Nacho’s departure and losing out in a race with Manchester United to sign Yoro this summer has left them with limited options.
Rudiger the most experienced available player in the team. He is crucial to whatever thing they stand for achieve this season.
Unless they bring in another defender before the start of the season , I don’t see why they’ll allow Rudiger go.
From last season, Madrid has having some defensive problem, but their strong defensive midfielders made the defensive errors not visible by many people. David Alaba is not consistent due to injury, and Nacho left the team for Al-Qadsiah FC in the beginning of the transfer window, which is why Madrid went for William Saliba in order to strengthen their defensive strength, but unfortunately, Arsenal is not ready to let him go.
I will be expecting Madrid to sign some defenders or promote any from their academy because they really need defensive reinforcement. Without all the key players they have in their squad, they can lose matches anyhow, which will affect the team.
I won't yet underestimate Madrid's defence, in the absence of the both players you mentioned, might still have no effect on the teams performance because I see quite a well replacement and not just any but those who can do even better. Making it to a club like Madrid is no big joke, any player on the team is readily accountable for a positive results in their every match, let me believe nothing has changed yet. Madrid still have Rudiger, Carval, Mendy, Alaba and many good defenders that can live to such standards but getting extra is definitely a good idea incase of injuries.
Madrid are in best form whether they add or remain this way, the squad is fit to attain as many titles they deserve this season.
