Real Madrid’s Nigerian-born defender, David Olatokunbo Alaba is set to leave the Spanish La Liga outfit in the summer of 2026, following their decision not to renew his contract when it runs out in June.
Sports247 gathered that a spate of injuries has left Alaba falling down the perking order at Santiago Bernabeu, to the extent that he has played only a handful of games, thereby rendering him redundant in the squad.

Consequently, the dark-skinned left footer, who was born in Austria to a Nigerian father and mother from Philippines, will be on the lookout for a new club starting from this weekend.
A report by Tribal Football revealed: “The veteran Austria defender’s deal expires in June and Real management have decided against offering him new terms.
“The 33, year-old joined Real from Bayern Munich in 2021 but has struggled with injuries over the past two years.
“Calf problems have restricted Alaba to just four appearances this season and none since October.
“Alaba would welcome talks over a new contract, but now appears set to move on this summer.”
