Austria defender David Alaba has joined Real Madrid following his departure from Bayern Munich.

The 28-year-old has joined the Spanish giants on a free transfer, signing a five-year deal.

Alaba came through the youth system at Bayern Munich after joining the German club in 2008.

Alaba made 431 appearances for Bayern Munich during his 13 years at the Bundesliga side.
