The Real Reason Why Real Madrid Have Put David Alaba up for Sale

The white team is willing to sell the Austrian center-back, but there are reasons for it

Alaba's Future is currently hanging in the air despite having returned from his injury. It was undoubtedly one of the great joys when, more than a year later, he stepped onto the field again. However, he still hasn't reached the competitive pace that Ancelotti wants for him.

In fact, the doubts about whether he will reach his best level after his serious injury remain a mystery. This makes Real Madrid willing to put him on the market right now. At least that's what some sources indicate for this upcoming summer.

Real Madrid would be considering the possibility of putting Alaba up for sale for the next season. As we mentioned, the uncertainty regarding his performance is one of the reasons for this. Although it wouldn't be the only one, as there is another reason they might sell him.

Alaba is one of the players who has a higher salary at the moment at Real Madrid. His departure could create a significant gap in the club's wage bill. This would lead them to try to sign a center-back to take the Austrian's place.

Real Madrid Is Clear About Selling Alaba with One Condition

Real Madrid is willing to sell Alaba although they have set a condition for it. They don't want to push him out, but he will only leave if David requests his departure to head to Arabia. It seems that the Asian country could be his destination this coming summer.

If that departure happens, Real Madrid also has clear steps they will take. With the money they save from his last year of contract, they will go to the market for a signing. Everything points to this summer being Huijsen as the big favorite for it.

The Spain international is one of the revelations in the Premier this season. This has put him on the radar of the white team, which sees him as a great option. Real Madrid has him in their sights, but only if Alaba finally leaves in the summer.
