Real Madrid take big contract decision on David Alaba’s futureReal Madrid’s youth movement signals a shift away from aging stars. The club focuses on young talents like Guler, Endrick, and Huijsen to dominate European football for the next decade. This strategy necessitates departures, with David Alaba, a high-earning, underperforming defender, likely leaving when his contract expires in 2026. Real Madrid will not offer a renewal, prioritizing their investment in a younger, more dynamic squad.
