## Resource

David Alaba, Real Madrids injury-plagued defender, is leaving the club after five years. Despite being a high-profile free agent signing from Bayern Munich, Alaba has only played 131 games due to injuries. His best year was his first, but he missed key moments. A major setback was an ACL tear in 2023, followed by ongoing muscle issues. Given his injury history, Alaba may seek a less physically demanding league, such as MLS or Saudi Pro League. His final match with Real Madrid may see him as a substitute. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
