AS: Alaba has received an offer from the Middle East Regional League and he expects to make a decision in one or two months
6686 Sports News on November 16 According to the Spanish "AS" report, people close to Alaba revealed that Alaba has received a generous offer from the Middle East League and his contract with Real Madrid will expire next summer.
In December 2023, Alaba suffered a torn cruciate ligament and experienced more than a year of difficult recovery. Although he seemed to have emerged from the gloom this season, the sequelae of injuries followed one after another - frequent muscle injuries (the latest was a calf strain), most likely related to high-intensity training during the recovery period from knee injuries.
Abala obviously hopes to stay at Real Madrid for one more year. But for players over 30 years old, Real Madrid usually only offers one-year contracts. Alaba therefore knows that everything hinges on whether he can show continued physical consistency at the end of the season - something that has yet to be achieved. So far this season, Alaba has only started for Real Madrid in the Champions League against Almaty. In La Liga, he has only played half of the game against Getafe. In addition, he has only made symbolic appearances against Real Sociedad and Levante.
According to people close to the player, he has received some offers recently, but they are all from second-tier league competitions that can provide high salaries, such as the Middle East, where his agent Pini Zahavi has good connections. Alaba hopes to make a final decision within the next month or two, but he still needs to wait for communication from Real Madrid. Real Madrid is in no hurry to make a statement. The club plans to observe the remaining schedule of this season before deciding the future of Alaba and Rudiger at the same time. The latter is in a similar situation to Alaba. The German defender suffered from knee injuries last season and eventually underwent arthroscopic surgery.
