Alaba signs with Udinese on deal until June 2027

David Alaba is now a Udinese player. As Fabrizio Romano reports, the defender arrives as a free agent after his spells at Real Madrid and FC Bayern, with a deal running until June 2027.

The move had been building up. As we shared earlier, Romano had already pointed to a verbal agreement and to Alaba’s trip to Rome to tie up the details. Now the journalist confirms it as a fully completed story.

Medical done

Romano says the medical was completed today in Rome, the kind of step that typically marks the shift from “close” to “signed.” With the contract confirmed, Udinese are set to add a high-profile piece to their back line.

Experience for Serie A

For Udinese, signing Alaba is a big statement: a defender with major pedigree, leadership qualities and the ability to raise the level in tight Serie A games.

Next up is how he slots into the squad’s plans and role as the season gets underway.
