Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain future in Madrid
Alaba's future at Real Madrid after the end of the current season is uncertain, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Alaba is among several players who might leave Real Madrid in the summer, although it's worth mentioning that the potential coaching changes might also affect his future. Alaba's injury issues have been a problem for Real Madrid all season long, and with Eder Militao getting ready to return, plus Real Madrid reportedly targeting a new center-back in the summer, Alaba might end up being an odd man out once it's all said and done.
