Scout report
D. Alaba is a 34-year-old central defender at Real Madrid, rated 15 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Alaba.
On the season, Alaba graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 2.103 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 34 Alaba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Alaba missed 9 games through injury (muscle, foot, calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 11 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Real Madrid finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 15 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
