David Alaba is living his last months as a player of Real Madrid and Juventus has already decided to make a firm move to try to sign him this summer.

The Austrian defender's contract ends on June 30, and he can freely negotiate his future. In Turin, they see an opportunity in the market that is hard to ignore. The interest is not just a mere approach. The bianconeri's management has already been in contact with his representatives and is preparing further steps to progress.

David Alaba edges closer to Juventus

David Alaba has lost prominence at Real Madrid due to injuries and increasing competition in the white team's defense. The Spanish club does not consider renewing his contract, so his departure seems inevitable. In LaLiga, his chapter seems set to close after several seasons of successes and physical ups and downs.

Juventus is seeking leadership, ball distribution, and experience to rebuild a defense that needs leaders. Alaba meets those requirements, although not without doubts. His agent, Pini Zahavi, has made a move, and the Italian response has been positive. The deal is not yet finalized, but the scenario has quickly evolved.

Real Madrid frees up an important spot

For Real Madrid, David Alaba's departure would relieve a high wage burden. The Austrian arrived on a free transfer but with a star's contract. His initial performances were noteworthy. He gained importance quickly, showed personality, and became a key player in important matches, especially for his defensive awareness.

However, injuries disrupted his recent trajectory completely. A cruciate ligament tear and other muscular issues affected his continuity and weakened his position in the starting lineup. In LaLiga, Madrid has built new certainties in defense. With other center-backs ahead in the rotation, Alaba has shifted from being essential to dispensable.

Salary and physical condition, the two key factors

Juventus has no doubts about David Alaba's quality but is concerned about the total cost of the deal. The first issue will be the salary. To play in Italy, the defender will need to accept a significant reduction compared to his current earnings in Madrid.

The second factor is his physical condition. Juventus requires reassurances before betting on a veteran player who has had medical setbacks in recent years. Nevertheless, his versatility compensates for part of the risk. He can play as a left center-back, left-back, and even as a midfielder in specific situations.

An opportunity to return to the European elite

David Alaba also has offers from Saudi Arabia, but his priority would be to continue competing at the highest level. Serie A offers him that stage. Juventus wants to regain authority in Italy and a real presence in Europe. Adding a winning experience can help accelerate that process.

The former Bayern player brings leadership, competitive spirit, and a track record that is hard to match. It wouldn't be a signing for the future but for immediate performance. For Real Madrid, his departure would mark the end of a period marked by titles, elegance, and a final stage conditioned by injuries.

Now everything will depend on the conditions. If he agrees to adjust his salary and overcomes physical doubts, David Alaba could become Juventus' major defensive reinforcement.
