Real Madrid is reportedly seriously considering the departure of David Alaba for the upcoming summer transfer window. Patience within the white club's leadership with the Austrian defender seems to have worn thin after a season marked once again by injuries and a performance level well below expectations. Alaba, who arrived on a free transfer from Bayern Munich with the reputation of a star, has failed to establish himself as a defensive leader and is becoming increasingly irrelevant in Carlo Ancelotti's plans.

The club aims to strengthen its central defense in 2025, with all signs pointing to the versatile defender being the sacrificial lamb. His departure would free up space in a defensive line that needs rejuvenation and solidity, particularly following Éder Militão's serious injury.

His exorbitant salary poses a problem in offloading him from the club

The main obstacle to finding him a new club lies in his salary. Alaba earns over 22 million euros gross per season, a figure out of reach for most clubs interested in his services. Nevertheless, Real Madrid would be willing to let him go for a nominal fee ranging between 5 and 8 million euros, provided his wage release is secured.

Although there are no concrete offers yet, proposals are already being heard at Valdebebas. The message is clear: Alaba is not untouchable, and the club will not wait any longer for him to regain his best form. The Austrian's time at the Bernabéu may be coming to an end, marking the beginning of a new era in the Merengue defense.
