Serie-A club Fiorentina has expressed interest in signing 33-year-old Austrian defender David Alaba and is reported to have inquired with Real Madrid about a potential transfer. Fiorentina is proposing a two-year contract as they anticipate the departure of their defender Pietro Comuzzo, who is rumored to be moving to the Middle East. Real Madrid is reportedly willing to sell Alaba this summer since his contract is set to expire in a year, and the club is keen to reduce their wage bill, especially because Alaba has mostly been on the bench lately. Alaba, who is aiming for more playing time in preparation for the crucial World Cup qualifiers with Austria and the potential World Cup in 2026, faces a dilemma due to recent injuries and limited game time. With the transfer window nearing its close, there is an increased sense of urgency. The player's market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m, and he has also garnered interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
