David Alaba's time at Real Madrid appears to be coming to an end, with his agent Pini Zahavi actively exploring transfer options ahead of the summer window. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Zahavi has spent the past several days in Milan conducting negotiations with multiple interested clubs, signalling that the Austrian defender's next chapter is already taking shape.
The 33-year-old's contract with Los Blancos will not be renewed following a frustrating 2024-25 campaign marred by calf injuries. Alaba managed only 14 competitive appearances across all competitions, totalling just 415 minutes of action. Even when available, he has struggled to command a regular starting role, highlighting how his relationship with the Spanish giants has deteriorated. Since arriving from Bayern Munich in 2021, he has featured 130 times in the white shirt, contributing five goals and nine assists from defence.
Multiple Destinations in Play
Zahavi's Milan visit was prompted by interest from both AC Milan and Juventus, though the trip also involved discussions regarding another of his high-profile clients, Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker's Barcelona future remains uncertain, making Italy an intriguing proposition for both players. However, Alaba's options extend far beyond Serie A. Transfer analyst Romano recently highlighted potential moves to the Saudi Pro League or Major League Soccer, underlining the global appeal of an experienced centre-back despite his recent struggles with fitness and form.
The veteran defender still possesses the technical quality and leadership credentials expected of a Real Madrid graduate, and several elite clubs appear willing to test his availability. Whether Alaba opts for a fresh challenge in a competitive league or pursues a lucrative overseas contract, his departure from the Bernabéu represents the end of a four-year tenure that promised more than it ultimately delivered. The coming weeks will reveal which club wins the race for his signature as the transfer window heats up.
