David Alaba joins Udinese on free after Real Madrid exit | OneFootball

David Alaba has joined Udinese on a free transfer after his Real Madrid contract expired in the summer.

The contract runs until the end of the season, with the move confirmed on Thursday. Alaba said after signing: "I've had many experiences and won a lot throughout my career, but one thing hasn't changed: I want to win again. I want to compete again. And I want to achieve something special again. This is the mentality I bring to Udinese".

"The coach has made it very clear what role he has in mind for me and what he wants us to achieve together. Obviously, I want to bring my experience to the dressing room, take on responsibilities and help whenever possible, especially the younger players."

"I’m not coming here just to be the experienced player in the team, and I’m definitely not coming here to end my career. I’m still too ambitious for that and I still strongly believe in what I can do on the pitch."

"I’m very excited about this challenge, and I still have a lot to prove to myself."
