David Alaba is expected to leave Real Madrid as a free agent when his current contract expires, according to reports that have circulated since November.
The Austrian defender, who joined Real Madrid after a successful spell in Germany, is now approaching the final stage of his deal, with indications that he will not extend his stay at the club.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on Friday, “David Alaba, expected to leave Real Madrid as a free agent, as reported since November. Several clubs already approached the Austrian defender, out of contract at Real Madrid.”
His availability on a free transfer is expected to attract further attention in the upcoming transfer window.
Alaba has been an important figure for Real Madrid since his arrival, offering versatility across defence and midfield, as well as experience at the highest level of European football.
While no official confirmation has been made by the player or the club, the expectation remains that he will depart the Spanish giants as a free agent at the end of his current deal.
He rose to prominence at FC Bayern Munich, where he won multiple league titles and UEFA Champions League trophies. He later joined Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2021.
Alaba is known for his passing range, composure, leadership, and ability to play as a centre-back, left-back, or midfielder.
He has also been a long-time captain and key player for the Austrian national team.
