The deal is not official yet and Real Madrid will not announce it until the very end of the season, given that both parties have titles to play for. Rudiger will face Liverpool in the FA Cup final, while Real Madrid will play for the Champions League title on May 28.

Rudiger will add much needed depth to the team’s defensive line and he will also give Ancelotti the chance to move Alaba to the left side of the defense if needed. His physical presence and ability to distribute the ball from the back line will definitely be of help next season.
