Real Madrid superstar receives offer from Saudi Arabia, and it's not Luka Modric - Reports
Real Madrid star David Alaba has reportedly received a surprise transfer offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club.
Alaba, 30, has established himself as a first-team regular for Carlo Ancelotti's outfit since arriving on a Bosman move from Bayern Munich in 2021. He has helped his team win five trophies, including one La Liga title.
According to renowned journalist Tomas Gonzalez-Martin, Alaba was the subject of a transfer bid from a Saudi Pro League outfit in the recent past. While the player is content in Madrid, he could be sold ahead of the next season.
Alaba, who has a contract till 2026 at Santiago Bernabeu, has raised a few questions due to his poor outings recently. Hence, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez could opt to cash in on the defender depending on the bid.
Meanwhile, Luka Modric is also said to be inching closer to a move away from the La Liga side. With a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia on the table, he's thinking about following in Karim Benzema's footsteps, according to Okdiario.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are looking to revamp their entire squad with only Vinicius Jr, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao regarded as non-transferable, as per El Nacional. They're keen to offload the likes of Alaba, Alvaro Odriozola, Lucas Vazquez and Jesus Vallejo to raise transfer funds for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Alaba has five goals and seven assists in 85 games across competitions for Los Blancos.
