Spanish club Real Madrid confirmed that Austrian international David Alaba will continue with the first football team during the coming period, and that he will not leave the walls of the “Royal Club”.
This came after the name of the Saudi Al-Ittihad club was associated with a large financial offer in order to win the player’s services during the current summer period.
He revealed to Al-Riyadiah, Jose Angel, CEO of Real Madrid, that the club had not received any official offer from the federation, “and even if he arrived, Alaba would not leave the team, and this is a final decision.”
He said, “He is one of our most important players, and we are sticking to the basic strength of the team at the present time. The list needs every player, so he will continue with us naturally.” When asked: Did Real Madrid receive official offers from clubs in the Saudi League? “No,” he replied, “we did not receive any formal offers, and I will be more frank: the door was closed to everything, both to attempts by intermediaries, and to official offers. It was basically closed.” And the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central” indicated, yesterday, that there was a late federal offer to include Alaba, amounting to 40 million euros, while the club offered the player an annual salary of 25 million, which is much more than what he receives in Real Madrid. The federation now owns a list of foreigners, which includes eight players, the Brazilian Marcelo Grohe, the goalkeeper, the French Karim Benzema and Ngolo Kante, the Brazilian trio Fabinho, Igor Coronado and Romarinho, the Moroccan Abdul Razzaq Hamdallah, and the Portuguese Jota, which means that the inclusion of Alaba will require the exclusion of one of them.
