David Alaba remains unattached as Manchester United rejects transfer

Austrian defender David Alaba remains without a club following the expiration of his contract with Real Madrid. Despite his high-profile career, including multiple Champions League titles, finding a new team has proven difficult.

Manchester United has reportedly ruled out signing the 34-year-old. Under the leadership of Ineos, the club has shifted its transfer strategy toward acquiring younger players with future resale value rather than experienced veterans with high salary demands.

Other potential suitors have also stepped back. Lazio Rome and Inter Milan have reportedly ended their interest in the free agent. Challenges in securing a new deal include Alaba's age, expected wage requirements, and recent athletic performance considerations.
