Alaba joins Udinese in Serie A after Real Madrid exit | OneFootball

Alaba has found his next club, joining Udinese in Serie A after five seasons at Real Madrid. His later years in Spain were hampered by injuries, and last season proved his final in white.

According to Superdeporte, the 34-year-old centre-back will start a new chapter with Udinese after months searching for a team. The club moved quickly to secure him, and he has already passed medical tests.

Udinese trailed the move on their social channels in recent days. First came an on-pitch chair, echoing his Champions League celebration after the win over PSG that took Real Madrid into the 2021-22 last 16. Then they posted a trophy cabinet packed with silverware alongside the player’s silhouette.

How consistently he can feature remains unclear, given the injuries that troubled him in recent seasons. His impact on the pitch will only become apparent once he returns to action.

He arrives to strengthen a defence that has conceded 11 goals in only five matches. Udinese are 13th with four points after a hesitant start.
