[Real Madrid](https://www.managingmadrid.com) defender David Alaba is determined to see out the remainder of his contract, according to a report from AS.
Alaba’s current contract expires in June 2026, and he is planning to see it out at the club, and Real Madrid seem to respect his decision of doing so.
Alaba is among the highest earners in this Real Madrid squad, and getting his salary off the books would be huge for Real Madrid, especially now that they cannot rely on the Austrian centre-back as an important player.
His performances have taken a sharp decline in the last few years. Dean Huijsen’s arrival, combined with Joan Martinez’s recovery, shows a plan for the future that does not involve Alaba.
However, the year that is left on his contract will be fulfilled by the player, and while it may not be in Real Madrid’s best interests, they seem to have accepted it.
