Real Madrid Confidencial David Alaba frustrates Real Madrid: the latest offer he rejects comes from Italy
Unless there is a surprise, the Austrian center-back will stay one more season at Real Madrid
The transfer market remains very active at Real Madrid. While waiting to see what happens with Dani Ceballos and his possible departure from the white squad, there are other players who keep receiving offers from abroad. The perfect example is David Alaba, who has a proposal from Italy and whose response has already been released.
According to "Defensa Central", it has been revealed that Fiorentina has submitted an offer to sign David Alaba for the season that has just begun. With the possible departure of Pietro Comuzzo, who's attracting great interest in the Saudi Pro League, the defender would be the chosen one.
The Serie A club took advantage of the fact that David Alaba has only one year left on his contract at Santiago Bernabéu. In addition, it seems that Real Madrid won't renew the footballer, who would be facing his last season in white.
Real Madrid was willing, but David Alaba was not
In recent days, a formal offer was sent and, according to reports, the proposal was well received by the directors of the Madrid club. The leadership of Real Madrid considered that allowing the Austrian to leave at this time would be a good financial move. David Alaba won't renew his contract and, with complete certainty, will leave the white squad as a free agent.
However, despite Real Madrid's willingness to close the deal, it was David Alaba himself who blocked the transfer.Fiorentina had offered him a two-year contract, but doubts about his physical condition and the uncertainty of moving away from Real Madrid led the player to reject it.
David Alaba prefers to finish the season with Real Madrid and think later about his future as a professional footballer. His ability to also play in midfield could provide him with minutes under Xabi Alonso, which would give him a final year to contribute before deciding his next step.
Meanwhile, at Real Madrid they preferred the player's departure in exchange for receiving a financial sum, but they respect David Alaba's decision. They know that he has a signed contract and that he has always been an excellent professional, so there are no problems with him staying for one more season.
