David Alaba, a 34-year-old Austrian defender, is being followed by Lazio and Roma after ending his contract with Real Madrid. The interest from the two clubs comes after the closure of the summer transfer market in Italy, although the player can sign as a free agent; his salary is around 3 million euros per season.

David Alaba becomes part of Lazio's plans

Lazio has placed Alaba among the options to strengthen their defense after the departure of Alessio Romagnoli, who left the club to sign with Al-Sadd. Sporting director Angelo Fabiani confirmed that the club is keeping the door open for free-agent players.

The situation makes Alaba an available alternative without paying a transfer fee. Lazio has three spots open in their squad and is considering using them to sign players who are still without a team.

The main obstacle is financial. The Austrian would demand around 3 million euros per year, an amount that forces Lazio to assess if they can fit his wages within their financial limits.

Alaba also comes with a physical record that affects any negotiation. Since the 2023/24 season, he has suffered issues that caused him to miss 109 matches between club and national team, although he played in all four of Austria's games in the 2026 World Cup.

Roma also joins the race for David Alaba

Roma is the other Serie A club linked with Alaba in recent days. Information available places the capital side among the teams that have contacted the player, while Lazio continues to monitor him after the market closure.

The Italian scenario could favor a quick decision as Alaba no longer relies on a transfer window to find a destination. The transfer windows in the major European leagues closed on September 1, but free agents can join later if they meet registration conditions.

On May 22, Real Madrid announced that Alaba would not continue after five seasons. The defender played 131 matches with the Whites and won 11 titles, including two Champions League trophies.

His last season in Madrid reflects the sporting uncertainty that clubs will need to assess. Alaba featured in 16 matches across all competitions, with 575 minutes, while in LaLiga, he made 11 appearances, five as a starter, without scoring or assisting.

The current market value of David Alaba is estimated at 3 million euros, according to the reference published by Sky Sport for the free agents of 2026. The absence of a transfer reduces the initial cost, but his salary and physical condition remain potential obstacles to the deal.

Lazio seems to have a path forward in the coming weeks, while Roma emerges as an alternative within Serie A. David Alaba will need to decide among the offers received, with Manchester United also mentioned as a possible destination and the free-agent market still open.
