Antonio Rudiger has opted to stay with Real Madrid this summer despite significant interest from Saudi Arabia.

Reports suggest that Al Ittihad made a "huge proposal" to the German defender. However, according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Rudiger did not entertain the offer.

Romano tweeted on Thursday morning, "Despite reports of a huge proposal from Al Ittihad, Toni Rudiger is not even considering leaving Real Madrid this summer. Full focus on Real Madrid project, no plans to join Saudi Pro League now despite interest”.

“Feeling mutual as Real consider Rudiger untouchable."
