Defensive Depth Fuels Exit Speculation for David Alaba at Real Madrid
The return to full fitness of key players like Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, combined with the recent arrival of promising talent Dean Huijsen, has intensified discussions about Alaba’s limited opportunities on the pitch this term. This scenario has prompted suggestions of a lucrative shift to Saudi Arabia, yet his agent, Pini Zahavi, has categorically denied any validity to these claims, stating that no discussions or proposals have surfaced.
Agent’s Direct Rebuttal to Transfer Buzz
In a conversation with 365Scores, Zahavi clarified: “Every story floating around regarding Alaba’s potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League is completely unfounded. No talks or bids have reached the player so far. Claims that he’s considering a relocation to Saudi Arabia are baseless, given the absence of any formal propositions. All that’s out there is mere gossip.”
Alaba’s Ongoing Struggles and Contract Outlook at Real Madrid
The 33-year-old has faced persistent challenges with fitness and performance over the last 18 months, and even during his available periods, options like Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asencio have taken precedence in the backline hierarchy. As a seasoned professional entering the later stages of his career, with just one year remaining on his current deal, the former بايرن ميونيخ standout might opt to see out his contract before exploring fresh opportunities in 2026. Given the current dynamics, securing an extension appears improbable.
Potential On-Field Return and Season Kickoff
Alaba, the experienced campaigner, might get a chance to shine in Real Madrid’s last warm-up match against WSG Tirol on Tuesday, ahead of Xabi Alonso’s side launching their La Liga journey the next Tuesday with a home clash against أوساسونا. Recent updates from the 2024-25 preseason indicate Alaba has participated in limited sessions, recovering from a major knee injury that sidelined him for over 200 days last year, highlighting the ongoing battle to regain peak form.
