Real Madrid have set a €60 million price tag for Austrian defender David Alaba, marking a significant change in the club’s approach to his role in the team. Although Alaba was a key figure, his erratic performances have led the board to consider selling.
This change in Alaba’s situation has caught the attention of three clubs looking to strengthen their defensive lines:
The clubs that want to sign David Alaba
-Manchester United: The Red Devil team is looking for an experienced defender to fill the void left by Raphael Varane, who is on the verge of leaving the club. The United board sees Alaba as having the necessary experience and quality to strengthen its defense next season.
-Juventus: La Vecchia Signora have their sights set on the UEFA Champions League and are looking for a top defender to strengthen their squad. With the opportunity to take part in Europe’s top competition, Juventus Turin sees Alaba as the chance to add more solidity and experience to their defensive line.
-Al Ittihad: Under the leadership of Marcelo Gallardo, Al Ittihad want to establish themselves as an elite team and have identified Alaba as an important reinforcement in defense. With renowned players like Karim Benzema, Kanté and Fabinho in their ranks, the addition of Alaba would be another step towards building a top team.
Real Madrid’s fixation on Alaba’s asking price has sparked competition between these interested clubs. Everyone has their own reasons and ambitions for signing the Austrian defender and it will be interesting to see how negotiations develop in the coming weeks. Alaba’s future appears to be facing a change of scenery and his fate will depend on which club can meet Real Madrid’s financial expectations.
