David Alaba Is on the Market, the Price for Which Madrid Would Negotiate His Departure

David Alaba Could Be Living His Last Months at Real Madrid. Although his contract expires in 2026, the club wouldn't mind his departure in the summer. The possibility of accepting an offer from Saudi Arabia is on the table.

Real Madrid Set an Accessible Price

The Austrian has a gross salary of 23 million euros annually. Freeing up that amount would help the club's planning.

According to Defensa Central, the management is willing to let him leave for a price between 5M and 6M euros. An affordable figure because in 2025 he would only have one year left on his contract.

Injuries have marked his campaign. So far, he has only played 311 minutes in 9 matches. His lack of continuity has caused him to lose prominence in Ancelotti's rotation. Currently, he is the third or even fourth center-back on the team.

Raúl Asencio has taken advantage of his opportunities and has moved ahead of Alaba in the hierarchy. Additionally, the Italian coach trusts Tchouaméni more as an alternative in the center of defense. With this scenario, his role on the team has become very limited.

Especially considering that Eder Militao is out of the equation due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The same goes for Vallejo, who is almost out of the team.

Age and Injuries, Key Factors

Alaba has worked hard to regain his best level after a long period of inactivity. However, the coaching staff believes it will be difficult for him to perform as before. In June, he will turn 33, an age at which his performance could start to decline.

The club won't pressure his departure, but if an offer comes and the player accepts it, they will facilitate his transfer. Saudi Arabia remains alert to his situation. Next summer could be the key moment to define his future.
