Rudy Fernandez signed a renewal to his contract with Real Madrid, seeing him stay for two more seasons. The event took place this afternoon in the press room of the Real Madrid City basketball pavilion. Juan Carlos Sánchez-Lázaro, director of the basketball section of the club was also in attendance and was the first to speak: "Rudy is our best signing. We are looking at a player who has become a legend within the team. Rudy has set a clear example of sacrifice since he arrived here. He is a committed player who has always knew how to get the best out of himself for the benefit of his team mates."
 
"Rudy always demonstrates and transmits to his colleagues that requirement. At Real Madrid we look for excellence, effort and improvement, and we are proud to be able to count on Rudy for two more years. He will remain a legend within this team."
 
Rudy: "Real Madrid is home"
"I am overjoyed at the prospect of staying at the best club in the world for two more years. I hope we can continue winning titles. Thank you, Real Madrid. I feel like it's my home and when things go well here and your family are doing well, it was very easy to make a decision such as this one. It is true that there has been interest from other teams, but that is irrelevant when you just want to stay at the club that has given you everything you have. "
 
Giving thanks
"I'm ecstatic to be spending two more years here at Real Madrid. I have always tried to give my very best here. We have won 14 titles in seven seasons but, more importantly, I have to thank the president, Juan Carlos Sánchez, the Board of Directors, all of my teammates and the people at this club for treating me so well and making me feel like an integral part of this great family "
