Rudy Fernández extends his contract with Real Madrid

Real Madrid basketball continues to shape its project for the coming year and this Tuesday has confirmed what has been an open secret for weeks: the renewal of Rudy Fernández. The Balearic forward will continue to be linked to the 'white house' until June 30, 2023 and will be an important piece in the schemes of Chus Mateo, the new coach of the Chamartín team after the controversial
dismissal of Pablo Laso.

At 37 years old, Rudy Fernández will face his twelfth campaign at Real Madrid, a club he joined from the NBA in the summer of 2012, although he had already played nine games with the whites the previous year during the 'lockout' that paralyzed the best basketball competition on the planet. Throughout this time, the player from Palma de Mallorca has become the fourth player who has worn the Real Madrid jersey on the most occasions, a team with which he has amassed 21 trophies: two Euroleagues, six Leagues, five Cups King, seven Spanish Super Cups and one Intercontinental Cup.

MVP of the Endesa League final in 2018, of the Copa del Rey in 2015 (he had previously won the same award with DKV Joventut, in 2004 and 2008) and of the Endesa Super Cup in 2013, Rudy Fernández has been part of two occasions of the Best Quintet of the Euroleague and in three of the Endesa League.

The renewal of the Balearic Islands is added to those of
Sergio Lull and Fabien Causeur, both announced last week. In addition to ensuring the continuity of these three pillars of the successes achieved in recent years under Pablo Laso, Real Madrid has tied the signings of Spanish point guard Sergio Rodríguez, who will return to the Spanish capital as a free agent after the end of his contract with Armani Milan; Bosnian forward Dzanan Musa, last Endesa League MVP with Río Breogán, and also Croatian forward Mario Hezonja, who played for UNICS Kazan last season and has a past at Barça and the NBA.
