In recent seasons, Austrian central defender David Alaba, who has been constantly struggling with injuries, has not been able to maintain his status as one of the most important players at Real Madrid. It has also become clear that newly appointed head coach Xabi Alonso does not intend to include the 33-year-old footballer in his tactical plans. Therefore, the club management has invited Alaba to terminate the remaining year of his contract by mutual agreement in advance.
According to AS, the experienced defender has refused to accept this proposal and has stated that he has no intention of leaving the team. Alaba demands that if the cooperation is to be terminated, he should be paid the full salary for the remaining contract period.
Reports emphasize that David Alaba is the second highest-paid player at the Royal Club, with an annual salary of €22.5 million. Since joining from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2021, he has appeared in 116 matches in all competitions, in addition to his defensive duties, scoring five goals and providing nine assists.
The Alaba issue has sparked major discussions within the club. Notably, the defender has not been able to regain full fitness, and his place in the starting lineup has also become complicated. His fate and whether he will stay at the club are expected to be clarified soon.
Final conclusion: Whether David Alaba will remain at the club, his contract matters, and his high salary have become some of the most interesting topics for Real Madrid fans and experts. Negotiations between the club and the player may soon have a major impact on the team’s transfer policy and defensive lineup.
