Real Madrid has made a decision regarding the future of Austrian player David Alaba, the team's defender, as they have settled on his departure during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to media reports.

This decision comes in light of Alaba's declining performance during the current 2024/2025 season, alongside the royal team's ongoing defensive issues due to injuries and inconsistent performances from some players.

The "Fichajes" network reported that the decline in the Austrian defender's level, especially after the mistake he made in the recent match against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, prompted the club's management to decide on his departure at the end of the season.

Real Madrid is expected to start listening to offers for Alaba, especially since he is one of the high earners within the team, and the club aims to strengthen the defense with young players in preparation for the new 2025/2026 season.
