Real Madrid Announce Second Departure of Expected Busy Summer

David Alaba is next on Real Madrid’s confirmed summer departures, leaving the Santiago Bernabéu when his contract expires on June 30.

Los Blancos announced the news on Friday, expressing gratitude for Alaba’s contributions during his time in the Spanish capital and promising to honor the Austrian defender when the team plays the final match of the season—at home to Athletic Club in La Liga.

It follows communication earlier in the week that Dani Carvajal is also leaving next month.

“David Alaba has earned the affection of all Madrid fans for his dedication, his hard work, and for an iconic image on our path to the fourteenth European Cup, which symbolized the celebration of a victory and is now part of our club's history,” president Florentino Pérez said.

“Real Madrid will always be his home.”
