Real Madrid is concentrating on sale for the time being, now that the Xabi Alonso team has its 25-man capacity. The will of Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy are strongly associated with rooms, and another player with whom the club can say goodbye before the end of the summer is David Alaba.
Alaba had a very strong first few seasons in Real Madrid, but since the suffering of an ACL injury in December 2023, things have started downhill. He has lost all fame and in the 2025-26 season, he is expected to be the fifth in the pecking order in the middle behind Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Raul Asencio.
That is why Real Madrid is open to the sale of Alaba, because it would make it possible to get his great wages of the books. However, it is almost certain that he will not leave the Santiago Bernabeu in 2025.
The Alaba entourage has told Diario that the International in Austria remains “. And given that he is one of only two left-sided central defenders in the team, there is opportunities for him to get some fame under Xabi Alonso, especially if a system with three backs is used by the former head coach of Bayer Leverkusen.
However, it is expected that Alaba will leave Real Madrid the next summer, regardless of how often he plays during the 2025-26 season. The plan is that Ibrahima Konate arrives as a free agent within 11 months, and in essence he would replace Alaba, who will be 34 at that time.
There is a space for Alaba to play a role for Real Madrid for the next 9/10 months, although it is almost certain that the coming season will be his latter as a Los Blancos player.
