Alaba about to leave Real: Operation and offer from Saudi Arabia!

The situation surrounding Austrian football star David Alaba remains tense and is making headlines in international football. According to recent reports from oe24 Alaba has suffered from a torn cruciate ligament since December 2023 and is now struggling with another health setback - a tear of the medial meniscus, which forces him to undergo surgery. This injury is expected to keep him out for the remainder of Real Madrid's current season.

The club's medical services have made the diagnosis and the operation could place further strain on the club's already struggling defense. Real Madrid is not only faced with Alaba's failure; Ferland Mendy and Antonio Rüdiger also had to miss a large part of the season due to injuries. At a crucial moment as the team fights for the 2024-25 La Liga title, coach Xabi Alonso lacks the defensive stability he needs to remain competitive. Managing Madrid reports the urgent need to bolster defensive depth in the summer.

Alaba's possible future

As Alaba continues to rehabilitate, there is also speculation about his future at Real Madrid. Reports from oe24 suggest that he has the option to leave the club in the summer despite having an existing contract. He has already been linked to Al-Ittihad from Saudi Arabia, where a tempting offer of around 20 million euros per year awaits him. Nevertheless, Alaba has so far shown no interest in leaving Madrid, which only increases the uncertainty about his sporting future.

The development of Alaba's injuries and the associated problems in Real Madrid's defense raise questions that concern not only the player himself, but also the club's strategic planning. The missing players, due to injuries among other things, represent a risk, especially when you take into account the great competition in the league.
