Real Madrid's Future with David Alaba Remains Uncertain

Speculation surrounding the future of David Alaba at Real Madrid continues to swirl, with the club reportedly open to letting him leave for free in the summer.

Despite not confirming any exit plans, Real Madrid has faced criticism from Spanish media following Alaba's performance in the club's recent loss to Arsenal. The Austrian defender has been a top earner at the club, earning an annual salary of €22 million, but his playing time has been limited, with him featuring in just 12 games so far.

After recovering from a knee injury, Alaba has played 493 minutes, but his future at the club remains uncertain due to ongoing rumors of his departure. In response to the speculation, Alaba reassured Real Madrid fans via an Instagram post, stating, "It's not over yet. We fight till the end."

Interest in Alaba's potential departure extends beyond Spain, with reports suggesting that clubs like Bayern Munich, his former team, and Saudi Arabian clubs are keen on signing him. Alaba's contract with Real Madrid runs until the end of the 2025-2026 season, but there are indications that the club plans for his contract to end without renewal.

Other major clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, Chelsea, and Liverpool, have been linked with defensive reinforcements, but there is no specific mention of Alaba. Spanish portal Grada3 writes that Real Madrid is opening the door for Alaba's departure, with the Champions League record holders potentially looking to upgrade their defense.

If Alaba were to leave Real Madrid, he could potentially earn more than €22 million per year in Saudi Arabia, according to reports. As Alaba turns 33 in exactly 75 days, the question of his long-term future at the club remains unanswered.

The speculation surrounding Alaba's departure continues, with no official offer having been made for his transfer yet. Only time will tell if Alaba will continue his career at Real Madrid or move on to pastures new.
