David Alaba's physical condition is really serious.
Real Madrid reported on its official website on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) 'As a result of the team's medical team's examination on Alaba, he was diagnosed with a tear in his left knee.' Alaba's 2024-2025 season is over.
Alaba is a world-class defender. Growing up in Bayern Munich, Alaba originally rose to the ranks of Wolkle as a left full-back with a very outstanding performance. Alaba also showed great performance as a centre-back. After achieving a lot as a key defender in Bayern, he decided to go to Real ahead of the 2021-2022 season. Even after moving to Real, he immediately became the core of the team and showed the dignity of Wolkle.
However, from the 2022-2023 season, Alaba has not played many games due to frequent injuries. He was injured three times, including a hamstring injury, and played only 23 league games. He was playing well and healthy in the 2023-2024 season, but suffered a terrible injury in December 23rd, which was a cruciate ligament rupture. He had surgery and was out for the season.
Even if he undergoes surgery after rupturing the cruciate ligament, many players are returning healthy these days, so Real did not recruit additional center backs believing in Alaba's return. As a result, it was a failure. Alaba had to rehabilitate for more than a year, and other centre-back players were overworked in the process. In the aftermath, Eder Militão suffered another cruciate ligament rupture and was out for the season.
Alaba only returned in January 25, but was not in normal condition. There were some games where he played as a starter, but most of them spent time on the bench. He was not very helpful to the team, but he seriously injured his knee again and finished the season. Over the past three seasons, Alaba has played only 44 games in the league. It has been reduced to a serious glass body.
With Alaba's continued injury, Real are expected to move forward with the signing of the centre-back in the upcoming summer transfer window. This is because Raul Asensio has grown up, but we are not sure about the physical condition of Alaba and Militão. William Saliba, who has been constantly rumored to be transferred, and Real are connected to Dean Ha-sun, who is emerging.
Alaba is under contract with Real until next season. It is not strange to renew the contract once more as a person born in 1992, but it is difficult to expect an additional renewal offer from Real if it is this kind of glass body. No matter how good your skills are, a player who can't play is not worth it.
