Alaba signs for Udinese

Udinese announced David Alaba’s arrival on 24 September. The Austrian defender’s contract runs until 30 June 2027.

Context

The move is official, rather than an ongoing negotiation. Alaba begins an Italian chapter after spells at Bayern and Real Madrid. That background explains the interest in his experience, but does not guarantee a starting place or results. Integration into Kosta Runjaic’s system is a separate step from the contract announcement.

The supporters’ visual identity also includes Udinese Home Shirt 25/26.

What comes next

The announcement does not set a debut date. Squad selection and the coach’s decisions will follow. The image is from Bayern training in 2013, not his Udine presentation.
