David Alaba exit frees €25M for Real Madrid

Alaba, who arrived in 2021 to replace Sergio Ramos, won the Champions League and La Liga in his first season but has struggled with injuries since December 2023. His minutes have plummeted, playing only 17 games last season and just 415 minutes this year.

The Austrian's departure will save the club nearly €25 million, potentially allowing them to pursue a new defensive profile. With agent Pini Zahavi in Italy discussing options with Serie A clubs, Alaba's future remains in flux as his contract expires. umafrika.club
