La Liga giants Real Madrid are ready to bid farewell to a member of the club’s defensive ranks in the summer of 2026.
This comes amid confirmation that David Alaba will be allowed to depart on a free transfer.
Austrian international is as things stand due to see his contract terms come to an end upon the season’s close.
The former Bayern Munich man has long seen his prominence in Real Madrid’s backline declining, owing to a combination of age, injury woes, and competition for places.
With Los Blancos expected to seek out reinforcements at the heart of defence for the 2026/27 campaign, it should therefore come as little surprise to hear of Alaba preparing to move on.
As per a report from market insider Fabrizio Romano, speaking on his official YouTube channel this weekend, the widespread expectation is that this term will be the 33-year-old’s last in Spain’s capital.
