Last year, ex-Bayern star David Alaba was one of the undisputed top performers in the Real Madrid team. However, the Austrian is not showing his best side this season. Those in charge at Royal shouldn’t like that at all.
A few weeks ago, Spanish media speculated about David Alaba’s possible departure from Real Madrid. The defender’s fluctuating performance should make the club bosses doubt whether he would continue to work, it was said at the time. The 31-year-old has not had any consistency in his performances since then. Rumors about his departure are now emerging again.
“Fichajes” claims that those responsible for Real have now made a “far-reaching decision” regarding Alaba. Accordingly, it was finally decided to let the Austrian go if there was a suitable offer. The Royal team’s desired sum is reportedly 60 million euros.
Alaba makes a bad mistake in the Champions League
Criticism of the former FC Bayern professional picked up speed again this week after the Champions League game at Union Berlin. There the defender made a bad blunder that led to 0-1 from the Royal perspective.
The “Mundo Deportivo” then described Alaba as a “central problem” for the Madrilenians this season, in which Real played very well, but often not well enough compared to the demands. In the domestic league, for example, the club is “only” second after 16 match days behind surprise team Girona.
Despite the public criticism, coach Carlo Ancelotti has not lost confidence in Alaba. The Austrian has already started 13 games in the current league season. He was only not taken into account from the end of September to mid-October, when he was out due to an adductor injury.
