David Alaba, Real Madrid, Florentino Perez
23 May 2026
Real Madrid confirmed David Alaba will leave as a free agent when his contract expires this summer. The defender ends a five-year spell after winning nine trophies, including two La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns.
Alaba’s final seasons were heavily affected by knee injuries and limited minutes, pushing him down the defensive order. Florentino Perez praised his dedication and legacy, while the player now looks for a new challenge elsewhere.
