O austrian international defense David Alaba, who had been clubless since leaving Real Madrid, signed a contract until June 2027 with Udinese, announced today the emblem of the Italian Football League.
“ I've had a lot of experiences and I've won a lot over my career, but one thing hasn't changed: I want to win again. I'm not just here to be one of the team's most experienced and I'm sure I'm not here to end my career. I am very excited about this challenge”, said Alaba, in statements released by Udine club.
Last summer, the 34-year-old player closed a five-year cycle in Madrid, which was marked by several injuries, including a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of a knee at the end of 2023, which drove him away from the lawns for more than a year.
Alaba, who captained Austria in the last World Cup, added 132 games for the Merengues, having won two Spanish championship titles and two Champions Leagues, among others.
Before, the Austrian multipurpose had spent 13 years in Bayern Munich, with a loan to Hoffenheim in the middle. In Bavaria, he lived his period of greatest brightness, with more than 400 matches and 10 German champion titles.
With five completed Serie A journeys, Udinese ranks 13.
