Real Madrid Willing to Dump €20M-a-Year Veteran to Hijack Liverpool’s Move for PSG Target

Fichajes reports that Real Madrid is planning a strategic move in the upcoming summer transfer window: offloading David Alaba to free up wages and generate funds for the potential signing of Dean Huijsen.

The Spanish giants reportedly recognize the need to refresh its defense and see the Bournemouth player as a promising future prospect. However, his hefty buyout clause means that a move for Alaba is necessary beforehand.

Alaba, 32, has been a key figure at Real Madrid since joining in 2021. However, ongoing injury issues and his substantial salary push him toward the exit, per Fichajes. His wage, one of the highest in the squad at over €20 million per season, is unsustainable for the club if they aim to make significant signings in the transfer market.
