A note from the club
“Verbal Agreement!” Alaba Headed to Italy
David Alaba is on the verge of signing with Serie A club Udinese. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that there is already a “verbal agreement” between the Austrian national team player and the historic club. And the club itself has already dropped a clear hint about the signing on Instagram.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Just last Monday , David’s father, George Alaba, told the “Krone” that his son David would soon announce his new club. Now it might actually be time! As transfer expert Romano reports, there is already a verbal agreement between Alaba and the historic Italian club Udinese.
Hint from Udinese
And the club itself has already teased the upcoming signing on Instagram. A photo of the iconic Alaba folding chair was posted on the club’s Instagram account. After some initial confusion, word has now spread among Italian fans about what this means. “Alaba? If he really comes, that would be crazy,” one tifoso enthuses.
This seems to mark the end of his intensive search for a new club. Ever since the 34-year-old’s contract with Real Madrid expired this summer, the rumor mill has been in overdrive. England, Italy, Mexico, the U.S.—there’s hardly a league where the Austrian national team veteran hasn’t been rumored as a new signing.
Not a Done Deal Yet
In the end, though, nothing really heated up. But now Serie A does indeed seem set to become Alaba’s new home. The Austrian national team defender is expected to help Udinese secure their place in the league and climb back up the standings.
Founded in 1986, the club currently sits in 13th place in the standings and could really use some defensive experience. In their five league matches so far, they’ve already conceded 11 goals—the second-most in all of Serie A! The coach is Kosta Runjaic, a German born in Vienna.
As expert Romano reports, the deal is in the final stages but not yet a done deal. In the coming days, details still need to be worked out between Alaba’s camp and the historic club. But if everything goes according to plan, the Austrian national team player could take the field for the Italians right after the international break and once again prove his worth to head coach Ralf Rangnick.
