"As" pointed out that the contracts of the four Real Madrid players, Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger and Alaba, all expire next summer, and their future is eye-catching.

The two veterans Modric and Vasquez left Real Madrid after their contract expired, and in the new season, there are four Real Madrid veterans entering the contract year. Moreover, these four players are all over 30 years old. According to Real Madrid's unspoken rules, even if they renew their contracts, they will only be renewed every year (maybe only has the exception of goalkeeper Courtois), and players need to prove themselves with their performance.

Courtova, who is already 33 years old, made 53 appearances last season (Real Madrid has a total of 68 games), a total of 4,830 minutes. Despite four injuries, his performance last season was still undisputed, saving the team many times. Moreover, Courtois is also an important player in Real Madrid in the locker room, and he will speak out when the team is not performing well. Considering that goalkeepers have a longer career, Real Madrid is willing to renew their contract with Courtois for two years, rather than only one year as other players over the age of 30.

Cavajal is also 33 years old. He suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament of his knee in October last year. He finally played only 12 times last season, totaling 897 minutes. However, Real Madrid still renewed his contract with Carvajal until 2026. In the semi-finals of this summer's Club World Cup, Kavajal returned from injury. Real Madrid has signed new right-back Arnold this summer, so it is difficult for Carvajal to compete for the main position. However, as the captain of Real Madrid, Carvajal represents the history of Real Madrid club. He has won 6 Champions League championships with the team and is looking forward to becoming the first player to win 7 Champions League titles.

Currently, 32-year-old Rudiger is the youngest of the four, making 55 appearances last season, totaling 4,540 minutes. Rudiger suffered a muscle injury in February this year, suffered a meniscus torn in April, and then developed knee arthritis. Ass said that if a bid is received that satisfactory to all parties, Real Madrid does not rule out the possibility of selling Rudiger. At the end of June this year, it was also rumored that Saudi clubs were interested in Rudiger. Considering his age, career, contract period and other factors, this is a very likely place to go.

33-year-old Alaba only made 14 appearances last season, totaling 599 minutes. He is one of the five highest-paid players in Real Madrid, but has not made a contribution that matches the income. Now Alaba's physical condition is questioned. Just during the Club World Cup training this summer, Alaba was once again absent due to a soleus muscle injury on his left leg. Now Alaba is only the fifth central defender in Real Madrid, ranking behind Wyson, Militon, Rudiger and Raul Asensio.
