Fenerbahce submit offer to sign Austrian-Nigerian defender David Alaba

Fenerbahce have reportedly expressed interest to sign Austria international of Nigeria descent David Alaba in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The former Bayern Munich star had limited game time at Real Madrid due to persistent injury setbacks. He made just 14 appearances for the Spanish giants last season.

With his future looking uncertain at Real Madrid, the Turkish giants has reportedly made an offer to secure his services ahead of the 2025/26 football campaign.

The negotiations are reportedly being personally overseen by Fenerbahce’s head coach Jose Mourinho. However, given Alaba’s high wage demands, this transfer might be doomed to fail.

Alaba is known to be a devoted fan of Fenerbahce’s main rival, Galatasaray, which could further complicate the potential move.

Previously, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez stated that he is eager to offload the Austrian because of his hefty salary, which amounts to 13 million euros per year.

At this moment, negotiations between the parties are ongoing.

The 33-year-old’s current contract with the Spanish giants is expected to elapse in the summer of 2026.
