Real Madrid’s summer rebuild is in full swing.
With new names coming in and plans changing under Xabi Alonso, the club is also trying to clear out players who no longer fit into the project.
One big name could soon be on the move.
The problem is not just about performances.
It is also about wages.
Real Madrid have a few players earning massive salaries, and some of them have barely played in the past year.
One of those names is being quietly offered around, especially to clubs that might take a chance.
According to Ajansspor, the player has been offered to Galatasaray.
Discussions are at an early stage, but there is interest from Turkey.
The player’s links to the Turkish community, especially from his younger years in Vienna, could help push the move forward.
Madrid are looking for ways to reduce their wage bill.
The coaching staff has already made it clear that this player is not in their future plans.
His contract runs until 2026, but the club is open to letting him go early if it means freeing up space for new arrivals.
Injuries have been the main concern. What once looked like a smart signing has turned into a gamble that has not paid off.
The player has spent more time on the treatment table than on the pitch. That has frustrated both the fans and the club.
Now 33, his physical decline has been hard to ignore. Despite all his experience, he simply has not been reliable enough. The club knows it, and so does David Alaba.
And that is why he is now on the list of names being pushed toward the exit.
Galatasaray might just offer the fresh start David Alaba needs and Real Madrid the breathing room they want. The situation is moving and a decision could arrive soon.
