According to reports, David Alaba's contract with Real Madrid expired in June this year. The Austrian defender has made only four appearances for the Spanish club this season. At 34, this could be his final season as a professional. América Mexico, one of Mexico's most traditional and successful clubs, are currently top of the Liga MX with 16 points from six games. The club's success is partly due to the Brazilian player Raphael Veiga, who joined in January on loan from Palmeiras. América Mexico's ability to sign Alaba may depend on whether they can afford his salary.
