News comes from Munich that speak of the disagreement between Alaba and Bayern Munich. The Austrian versatile player (he can play as a central defender, a winger on both sides and even as an inside or winger) The contract with the Bavarian entity ends next June and its renewal, beyond being at a standstill, seems very far from being produced. Good for Madrid, since the footballer's agents, as AS has been told in recent times, have offered him to wear the white shirt on a couple of occasions without the negotiations coming to fruition.
Madrid could find itself without having intended it with an operation that would be more than profitable, especially considering that the back line seems to be the most unguarded of the squad. Alaba could reach zero cost next summer or even in the winter market for an almost symbolic price.
Last March, even in Germany they took for granted that Alaba would play for Real Madrid and that Zidane would have said yes to the operation. It was published by the Bild Journal. So the player was about to enter the last year of his contract, something that has already happened.
As this newspaper has learned, at Real Madrid they have always had Alaba on the agenda of possible candidates to strengthen the defense, even more so because of the insistence of their representatives, but they have always bet on meeting the needs with people from the house. Now, given the stagnation of his renewal with Bayern, that possibility arises again. Alaba is only 28 years old, has a lot of experience and a versatility that makes him fill several positions in one go.
Real Madrid is not the only front-line team interested in the player. Alaba has also been linked to Barcelona on numerous occasions. His father, in 2018, even went so far as to admit the white interest. “Everyone knows about Madrid's interest in my son,” he said then. That interest is reciprocal and, now, the right opportunity.
