Austrian international David Alaba, a 34-year-old centre-back, is linked with a potential move to FC Barcelona, who are now managed by his former coach Hansi Flick, with whom he had a very close and familiar working relationship in Munich. Alaba, who has been a free agent since the start of July 2026, has a goal to continue playing for a Champions League club, but it is reported that there are many other options, and it is said that both the player and his entourage are relaxed about the situation. The defender has earned 117 caps for Austria, scoring 15 goals. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m. Several top Italian clubs, including Juventus, Milan, and Inter, have also been linked with him.
