Four top Saudi clubs, including Al-Hilal, have shown interest in the 33-year-old Austrian defender David Alaba. His contract with Real Madrid expires in June 2026, and his market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m. However, his agent Pini Zahavi stated that all news regarding a transfer to the Saudi Pro League are false and that there have been neither negotiations nor offers for the player. The claim that Alaba is open to a transfer to Saudi Arabia is not true, as there have been no official offers to initiate negotiations. All circulated information is merely rumors.
