Additional verified details
Current context
- Transfermarkt listed Alaba without a club from July 1, 2026, and identified Real Madrid as his last club. Real Madrid officially confirmed that his time as a player at the club would end after the 2025–26 season. No primary-source announcement of a subsequent club or formal free-agent status was located, so the no-club designation remains a specialist-database listing rather than primary-source confirmation.
