Inter Rejects Departing Real Madrid Star

Inter Milan has reportedly turned down David Alaba. The Austrian defender is currently seeking a new club after it was confirmed he would be leaving Real Madrid. His contract with the Spanish giants expires on June 30th and will not be renewed. Consequently, the almost 34-year-old is looking for a new challenge, though it appears unlikely to be with the Nerazzurri.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Alaba was offered to Inter, but the club unequivocally rejected the proposal. Giuseppe Marotta and new coach Cristian Chivu are reportedly not interested in the versatile defender, who can play both as a full-back and a central defender.

At present, a move to Serie A seems improbable for Alaba, as Inter isn't the only club showing disinterest. Juventus and AC Milan are also hesitant about such a possibility, primarily due to the high salary demands of the player born in 1992.

Recent days have also seen speculation about a potential return to Austria for Alaba, though this would entail a salary four or five times lower than his current earnings. Red Bull Salzburg is believed to be monitoring his situation. If such a transfer materializes, it would mark his first club in his home country in 18 years, having left the second team of Austria Wien (his birthplace) to sign with Bayern Munich.
