Real Madrid Wants to Sell This Heavyweight, They Don't Count on Him for 2025-26

The Great Star of Real Madrid Who Could Leave at the End of the Season Following the Team's Decision

Looking ahead to the next season, Real Madrid seeks to carry out a revolution in its squad. With the clear intention of strengthening several important positions, Real Madrid is aware that it must also finalize some departures. While the departure of some players is uncertain, Real Madrid is quite clear about the farewell of a star.

Real Madrid, for the summer market, is extremely interested in the departure of David Alaba. Despite his excellent performance in past seasons, Alaba hasn't been the same after his injury. Losing much of his excellent level, his future within Real Madrid points solely to his departure after the end of the current season.

The main reason behind this is due to his high salary, an issue Real Madrid seeks to get rid of. Without Alaba, Real Madrid would have much more capital to finalize several of the most important renewals and signings for the summer market.

Real Madrid's Decision

After an excellent stint at Bayern Munich, David Alaba arrived at Real Madrid in 2021. Strengthening Real Madrid's defense for the upcoming seasons, the start of Alaba's cycle as a Madridist couldn't have been better. Achieving several successes and being essential in multiple matches, Alaba established himself as a quite important piece.

However, the injury he suffered during December of last year was a hard blow for Alaba and Real Madrid. With complications in recovery and a late return, David Alaba's level isn't equivalent to the salary he receives from the team.

That's why, for the next season, David Alaba is no longer in the plans that Real Madrid has. Despite all the successes he achieved at the time with Real Madrid, everything points to Alaba's cycle as a Madridist having come to an end.

Alaba's Farewell

Despite having a contract until 2026, Real Madrid's decision would cause an early departure of Alaba from the club. An important and striking decision that, once again, shows the standard Real Madrid has for the players in its squad.
