"People say it's easy to win with Sundowns (because of their financial strength), but why couldn't they win the league for the last seven years with the players that they bought and with the money that's been put into the team? What's the difference? I work hard, I don't play golf."

Stars in Europe - Austria - Keyplayer - Transfer - Alaba's surprise move

David Alaba

The Detail
David Alaba has completed a surprise free transfer to Udinese, signing a one-year deal through June 2027 following his Real Madrid exit on 1 July 2026. 

The Breakdown
"Austrian star, a dream signing for the Italian club."

The Credentials
Two Champions League titles with Bayern Munich, two more with Real Madrid, 30-plus major trophies, and 117 caps for Austria. Alaba made over 400 appearances at Bayern before a 2021 move to Madrid. A decorated career is now landing in Serie A.

The Fine Print
Injuries disrupted Alaba's final Real Madrid seasons, and Alaba reportedly accepted a significant pay cut from his salary to make the Udinese move happen.

Why Udinese
A rough start to the season (13th place), 11 goals conceded in five matches, and a defense hit by injuries and departures pushed Udinese into the market. Udinese can deploy Alaba in a back three or as left-sided centre-back, adding experience to a shaky rearguard.

The Bigger Picture
Bigger Serie A names like Juventus, Napoli, Milan and Inter were linked but never pursued a deal. Udinese moved decisively once Alaba became available, completing his medical in Rome before heading north to sign.

The Closer
Udine's newest veteran leader steps in.
