David Alaba signs with Italian club Udinese after leaving Real Madrid

Italian Serie A club Udinese have signed former Real Madrid defender David Alaba on a free transfer until the end of the season. The 34-year-old Austrian, who has been plagued by injuries, joins a team that has lost three straight matches and conceded 11 goals in five league games. Alaba, a four-time Champions League winner, had been without a club since his contract with Real Madrid expired. Other high-profile free agents include Dani Carvajal, Jadon Sancho, Karim Benzema, and Paul Pogba.
