David Alaba Signs One-Year Deal with Udinese

David Alaba, the former Real Madrid defender, has joined Udinese on a one-year contract, concluding his time as a free agent after departing from Real Madrid. The transfer was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who reported that Alaba's agreement with Udinese will last until June 2027.

This move comes after Alaba's five seasons at Real Madrid, where injuries limited his participation in his final years. He left the Spanish club after his contract expired at the end of the previous season and attracted interest from various clubs in Italy before finalizing his deal with Udinese, which did not involve a transfer fee.

Romano initially indicated that a verbal agreement had been reached before the deal's completion. Alaba brings significant experience to Udinese, having previously played for Bayern Munich, where he won numerous domestic and European titles, showcasing his versatility as a defender capable of playing both centre-back and left-back.
