Real Madrid: David Alaba says no to two Turkish clubs

David Alaba appears unwilling to leave Real Madrid this summer, turning down offers from two Turkish giants.

Recently pursued by Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, David Alaba has no intention of leaving Real Madrid this summer. Both Turkish powerhouses opened talks to sign the Austrian defender, who is still under contract with Los Blancos until 2026. However, according to Turkish daily Fotomaç, Alaba remains deeply committed to the Madrid club.

Valued at €6 million, Alaba was seen as an enticing opportunity for the Turkish sides, despite his considerable salary. Fenerbahçe even considered a loan deal with a purchase option to secure the services of the Bayern Munich legend. But with only days remaining before the Turkish transfer window closes (September 12), the move now seems unlikely.
