The 31-year-old German international's current deal runs until 2026, but negotiations over a fresh extension have progressed significantly in recent weeks. Sources indicate that an official announcement could be made before the end of the season, securing Rüdiger's services for the long term.\n\nThe extension underlines Real Madrid's faith in the towering centre-back, who has featured regularly in La Liga and the Champions League. His experience and leadership are seen as vital as the club navigates a transitional period. Locking down Rüdiger also provides stability in defence, especially with possible departures or injuries in the squad. The new contract is expected to include improved terms and a further two-year commitment, keeping him at the Bernabéu until at least 2028.\n\nMeanwhile, in the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 are closing in on the signing of Eric Martel from 1. FC Köln. The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, who rose through the youth ranks at RB Leipzig before moving to Köln, has impressed with his combative style and tactical discipline. Martel has been a regular starter for Köln, making over 50 appearances since joining in 2022.\n\nThe transfer to Mainz is reportedly in the final stages, with personal terms already agreed. Martel's arrival would bolster Mainz's midfield options, providing much-needed depth and physicality. His ability to break up play and distribute efficiently makes him a perfect fit for Bo Henriksen's system, which demands high energy and quick transitions.\n\nFor Köln, losing Martel represents a significant blow, especially given their current fight against relegation. However, the financial package from Mainz could help ease the club's budgetary concerns as they prepare for another challenging season. Martel's departure underscores Köln's struggles to retain key talents amid financial constraints.\n\nMainz, currently mid-table, see Martel as a long-term investment. The move aligns with the club's strategy of targeting young, undervalued talent from within Germany. Martel, who has also represented Germany at youth levels, is expected to compete for a starting spot immediately.\n\nWith the summer transfer window approaching, both deals highlight the ongoing reshaping of squads across Europe. Rüdiger's extension solidifies Real Madrid's backline for years to come, while Martel's move to Mainz signals the club's ambition to climb the Bundesliga standings.\n\nBased on reporting from Kicker.","news","Antonio Rüdiger's contract extension at Real Madrid is imminent, while Eric Martel is set for a move to Mainz 05, per Kicker reports.","332079002392989697","326135624673267712","Bundesliga","0","2026-05-19T06:30:47Z","why-rudiger-s-extension-is-imminent-martel-to-mainz","Kicker","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kicker.de\u002Ftransferticker-953155\u002Fartikel#omrss","326255039712595968","Başakşehir",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69],"326257534270705664","326257568773050368","326257599160782848","326257760532434944","326257783785656320","326257565535047680","326257534526558208","326257534715301888","326222712076767232","326257546220277760","326222707169431552",[57,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81],"Werder Bremen","Vorskla Poltava","Istra 1961","İstanbulspor","Istres","Real Madrid","RB Leipzig","1.
