"Real Madrid C. F. would like to notify that our player, David Alaba, has tested positive for Covid-19," the statement said.
Austria international Alaba, 29, will now have to quarantine shortly after his arrival in Madrid on a free transfer from Bayern Munich where he won all club titles on offer over more than a decade. Alaba signed a five-year contract at Real.
The Spanish league season starts in mid-August.
