Austria international defender David Alaba is set to leave Real Madrid as a free agent, according to reports from renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to these sources, the 33-year-old’s contract with the Spanish club expires on June 30, 2026, and there are currently no signs of a renewal, putting the defender on the verge of a possible departure at the end of the season. Several clubs have reportedly already made initial contact with the player’s representatives, expressing interest in securing his services. Alaba’s vast experience at the highest levels of European football makes him an attractive option on the market, despite recent injury setbacks and limited playing time.

Alaba joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 on a free transfer after leaving Bayern Munich, where he was a key figure for many years and won numerous major trophies.

This season, the Austrian defender has made 13 appearances in all competitions, totaling 391 minutes, without registering a goal or assist. These statistics largely reflect his limited role in the squad due to strong competition and his recovery from injuries. His future is expected to become clearer in the coming months, with interest from several European clubs likely to make him one of the most talked-about names in the upcoming summer transfer window.
