According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid has no further plans to extend the contract of German defender Antonio Rüdiger.

The publication clarified that "no definitive decision has been made on Rudiger's future, but the club's administration and coach Xabi Alonso praise his performance, although recurring injuries could lead him to depart at the end of the season."

“The club aims to open the door to the exit of a number of its players, most notably Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba,” the publication continued.

The publication added that "Austrian defender David Alaba is more likely to go than stay because the club has no intention of handing him a contract renewal at the end of the same season."

Several Saudi League clubs are showing interest in signing the 32-year-old player with no strings attached.

The Real Madrid management has not yet received a renewal offer for the German international, whose contract with the team expires on June 30, 2026.

Earlier this month, the Magpies fell 2-1 against Brighton, but the German international's incredible flick tied the score.

Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert of Bournemouth, Zian Flemming and Loum Tchaouna of Burnley, Chelsea's Moises Caicedo, Aston Villa's Emi Buendia, and Mo Salah of Liverpool are also on the shortlist.

Supporters of the Magpies may cast their votes for Woltemade by visiting here, and voting will begin at 1 pm GMT on Thursday, October 30. The winner will be revealed on Friday, November 7th at 1 pm GMT.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.

However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.

It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.

Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.


According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.

"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.

The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.

Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.

After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
