Beşiktaş is interested in acquiring 33-year-old Austrian defender David Alaba from Real Madrid, either on loan or by transfer. Both clubs are looking for a cost-effective defender. Real Madrid may be willing to release Alaba, but the player is reluctant to leave Madrid for Turkey. The Turkish transfer window closes on September 12, making the transfer unlikely at this time. Alaba's contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m. Several clubs from Italy and Saudi Arabia have also been recently linked with the defender.
