David Alaba is one step away from Udinese. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Austrian defender has reached a basic agreement with the Friulian club for a free transfer.

The former Real Madrid player, whose name had also been linked several times to Inter in previous transfer windows, is now close to a move to Serie A that comes as an unexpected coup. A preliminary agreement has been reached, but the formal steps still need to be completed to finalize the deal.

Work is underway to define all the details and avoid any last-minute surprises. The transfer of the central defender, a free agent after his long experience in Spain, could materialize soon.
