Bayern idol transfers to Udinese and aims for titles

Transfer Bayern idol David Alaba signed with Udinese Calcio in the Italian Serie A on 24 September 2026, after being clubless for months and rumors about a move circulating. The 34‑year‑old Austrian, former idol player of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, starts in Udine.

Kylian Mbappé (27) sent a heart via Instagram, while Luka Modrić (41) wrote the sentence “Welcome to Italy, brother!”. They were happy for their former teammate at Real Madrid and commented positively on the transfer.

The two former teammates showed their support and wrote “Well done!” on social media.

Last Competitive Match with Alaba

The 2026 World Cup round of 16 between Austria and Spain (0‑3) was the so far last competitive match in which David Alaba was involved, together with coach Ralf Rangnick. The related material comes from Imago.

After months of being without a club, the 34‑year‑old Alaba signed on 24 September 2026 with Udinese Calcio in the Italian Serie A. In Udine he presented himself at the end of September and said: “I am not coming here to wind down my career.”

Alaba’s Claim to Further Titles

He further emphasized: “I still have a lot to prove, I firmly believe in my abilities.” Despite his previous successes, he wants to continue winning titles.

Titles with Udinese Calcio, however, are still far off, so Alaba faces a new challenge.
