Aurélien Tchouaméni Gets Backup as Real Madrid Tests David Alaba

2026-06-26 · Aurélien Tchouaméni · Club News

Aurélien Tchouaméni's position at the base of Real Madrid's midfield may have a new backup, as David Alaba is being tested in the role.

Alaba, a veteran defender, has experience playing in midfield for Bayern Munich and the Austrian national team.

Xabi Alonso has tested Alaba in each of Real Madrid's pre-season outings due to Eduardo Camavinga's ongoing absence.

If Alaba performs well in the position, he could take on a full-time midfield role in 2025/26, providing a solution when Tchouaméni is injured.

According to **Diario AS**, this experiment could give rise to the desired results, making Alaba a good option for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will continue to test Alaba in the midfield position, and his performance will determine if he becomes Tchouaméni's backup.

The upcoming season will be crucial for Tchouaméni, and having a reliable backup like Alaba could make a significant difference for the team.

Alaba's experience and versatility make him an attractive option for Real Madrid, and his ability to play in midfield could be a valuable asset.

The pre-season outings have given Alonso a chance to assess Alaba's abilities in the midfield position, and the results will be closely watched.

As the new season approaches, Real Madrid will be looking to strengthen their squad, and Alaba's potential role in midfield could be a key factor.

The absence of Camavinga has created an opportunity for Alaba to showcase his skills, and he will be looking to make the most of it.

Tchouaméni's performance will also be closely watched, and having a capable backup like Alaba could take some pressure off him.

The upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Real Madrid, and the team's performance will depend on the contributions of all players, including Tchouaméni and Alaba.
