Club América ‘to consider’ move for former Real Madrid defender David Alaba | OneFootball

Marca reports that Club América are considering a late move for former Real Madrid defender David Alaba, who is currently a free agent.

The Mexico City club want a centre-back to replace Sebastián Cáceres after his recent switch to Celta de Vigo.

Alaba has been offered to América by his representative and the board are weighing the proposal, with the Mexican transfer window due to close on Friday.

There would be no fee, though the Austrian’s salary would need to be substantial without being excessive, and the final call rests with the hierarchy.

Alaba enjoyed a world-class career primarily with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but his level has dipped since a ligament rupture in 2024.

He logged only 421 minutes in the 2025/26 LaLiga season and, despite starting for Austria at the World Cup, his performances were underwhelming.

Even so, his quality could be enough to shine in Liga MX, though at 34 he would require time to adapt to Mexico City.

With two days left in the window, América’s stance should become clear quickly, whether they move for Alaba or turn elsewhere.
