David Alaba is going through a defining moment in his career and his time as a Real Madrid player. It has emerged that the club's board, led by Florentino Pérez, has presented him with a specific proposal: to pay half of his salary for the 2025-26 season (around 10 million euros gross) in exchange for an immediate departure. This formula would allow the defender to seek a place in another club, whether in Europe or in exotic destinations like Saudi Arabia, where he has already attracted interest.
The Austrian center-back, who is currently sidelined once again due to injury, has taken note of the offer but has not yet given a definitive response. Despite the challenging situation he is facing, his intention remains to fulfill his contract and not leave the club in a way that does not honor his career.
They do not believe he can continue performing at the highest level at Real Madrid
In Valdebebas, they are aware of his physical and sportive condition: Alaba, at 33 years old, has been dealing with several muscular issues, and it seems increasingly unlikely that he can regain his best form. Xabi Alonso does not consider him a key player in his plans, and his high salary represents a significant burden for the club. However, Real Madrid has chosen not to pressure him. They will respect his final decision.
The defender, who has struggled to perform at a high level beyond his first season as a Madridista, wants to bid farewell by competing. However, time is not on his side. With the entire summer transfer market ahead, Alaba now faces the tough decision of whether to seek one final adventure or remain on the white bench hoping to shine once again.
