Turin, 24 Sept. (LaPresse) – David Alaba is a new signing for Udinese. The Friuli-based club announced this in a statement. The Austrian defender has signed a contract that will keep him at the Bianconeri until 30 June 2027. “A player of extraordinary technical ability, leadership and tactical versatility, Alaba arrives in Udine after a career spent at the very highest levels of world football. Born in Vienna on 24 June 1992, Alaba came through the youth ranks at Austria Vienna. At the age of 16, he was signed by Bayern Munich, the club with which he established himself as one of the finest players in his position on the international stage, amassing an exceptional list of honours that includes numerous domestic league titles, cup wins and European successes,” reads a statement from the Bianconeri club. “Throughout his career, he has represented some of the most prestigious clubs, distinguishing himself through his performance, professionalism and consistency. With Bayern Munich, he won dozens of trophies (2 Champions Leagues, 2 Club World Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 10 Bundesliga titles, 6 DFB-Pokals and 5 DFB-Super Cups), playing a key role in the Bavarian side’s triumphs, for whom he made 431 appearances and scored 33 goals between 2010 and 2021. Subsequently, from 2021 to 2026, he also proved his worth at Real Madrid, adding further domestic and international titles (2 Champions Leagues, 1 Club World Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 2 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups) to an already extraordinary trophy haul. Captain and a key figure for the Austrian national team for over a decade (117 caps and 15 goals scored, with two appearances at the European Championships and one at the last World Cup), Alaba brings to Udine experience, character and a winning mentality honed on the biggest stages of world football. The arrival of a champion of this calibre is a clear testament to Udinese Calcio’s ambitions. The club has chosen to make a prestigious investment to strengthen its sporting project and offer its supporters a player capable of making a difference both on and off the pitch.” “The signing of David Alaba is a source of enormous satisfaction for the whole club,” emphasises general manager Franco Collavino. “We are welcoming an established champion, a leader and an exemplary professional. His arrival demonstrates Udinese’s determination to grow, compete at the highest levels and build an increasingly ambitious team.”
