Sources: Real Madrid not dismissing summer season departure of club
According to a report from Defensa Central, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez no longer sees David Alaba’s influence on the pitch as being in line with his financially rewarding contract.It is understood that the Austrian defender is amongst the leading earners at the club, yet his function in the group looks set to diminish even more in the 2025/26 season.For Perez, this situation is unsustainable, specifically as Real Madrid are concentrated on revitalizing their defence with more youthful, long-lasting options.Under Xabi Alonso, Alaba is anticipated to take on a secondary function. The squad currently has strong alternatives in defence, which decreases the requirement to rely heavily on the 33-year-old. Although his physical condition has improved, the club does not share the exact same optimism
. Real Madrid’s board are not encouraged about his future at the Santiago Bernabéu.Real Madrid’s position is clear that while they know Alaba does not wish to leave and means to fulfil his contract, which
runs up until 2026, they will not block his departure if a serious deal arrives.Real Madrid are open to Alaba’s departure this summer season.(Photo by Denis Doyle/Getty Images )The club has actually already notified his agent that if any proposition can be found in during the next two weeks, they are all set to help with the move.Saudi Arabian clubs are considered as the most
likely prospects, provided their capability to offer double or even triple Alaba’s existing salary.For Real Madrid, such a move would alleviate the wage bill while allowing them to invest further in more youthful defenders. However, all signs indicate Alaba wanting to stay, even if it means playing a minimized role in Alonso’s plans.Unless he alters his stance, the protector seems identified to see out his agreement before leaving the Merengue in June 2026. In the meantime, Alaba’s future remains among the more fragile circumstances Perez and the Madrid board will have to
handle this season.
