After a failed season, Real Madrid wants to revolutionize under the orders of Xabi Alonso. And this goes through the transfer window with the arrivals of Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and the nuggets Álvaro Carreras and Franco Mastanuono. But the most difficult to manage is the case for players already present in the workforce. With on the front line, the Vinicius Jr case, which still does not extend its contract which begins dangerously approaching the end of its lease at the Merengues.
But not only, because certain elements with a substantial salary how to give headaches to the Madrid management. This is particularly the case of David Alaba, the 33-year-old Austrian defender who still failed to recover from a long injury that occurred at the end of 2023. The possibility of breaking his last year of the contract had been studied, but the ex-Bavar refused this option, which receives a very high salary of 10.5 million annual, one of the highest amounts of the locker room.
Real Madrid will have to wait
And according to the latest information from ASthe Austrian has not received any offer and his entourage remains firm on the idea of seeing him continue at Real Madrid this season, while the club had sought to facilitate his departure. The Merengues therefore have no choice but to wait for the end of his contract, which will expire after the next season. A case similar to that of Antonio Rudiger (32 years old). The German defender, marked by several injuries last season, lost points, especially since the arrival of Dean Huijsen does not help anything.
The club would greatly appreciate the attitude of the German, but the chances of seeing him renew his contract are slim due to his state of health. Especially since Florentino Pérez offered a first professional contract for Raul Asencio (22 years old), not to mention the hope of a return of Eder Militao (27). Madrid therefore resigned himself to waiting for the departure of Alaba and Rudiger next summer to completely renew his central hinge, while a free arrival at the same time of Ibrahima Konaté would be the dream scenario.
