Alaba says no to PSG and Chelsea: he only wants to play in Spain

David Praise it still does not clarify its future, although every day the daisy has fewer petals. What at first was a range of more than five teams interested in signing him has remained in two: Real Madrid Y FC Barcelona. Your agents, Pini Zahavi Y Fali Ramadani, they work to get their client the best possible offer, but the player has told them that their priority is to go to either of the two Spanish giants. The interest is such that he has recently decided to reject Paris Saint-Germain Y Chelsea, as reported Sky Sports and RMC confirmed shortly after.

The Austrian ends contract with him Bayern on June 30 and already announced in a press conference that he wants to seek new challenges. From January 1, he can negotiate with any club for next year, but he has still not decided. Real Madrid had taken the lead but the return of Joan Laporta to the presidency of Barça has equalized the options. This newspaper has already reported that the Blaugrana president met with the player's agent. However, they both have the same problem: the high salary you are asking for.

Alaba has asked for a salary of 22 million euros gross annual, which would stay in 11 net. In the event that Real Madrid decide to sign him, it would happen as soon as they reached the top of the salary scale, only behind Bale (if he returns), Hazard, Bouquets Y Kroos. At Barcelona, ​​I would only charge less than Messi, Griezmann Y Coutinho. To this must be added a high transfer premium for both the player and his environment. Both, economically hit by the pandemic, will have to do accounts to sign him, although in this case the white club, with the healthier treasury, has a certain advantage. In addition, the fight between the two could increase the amounts.

At 28, Alaba faces a club change after thirteen seasons at Bayern. This year it is once again essential: adds 3,018 minutes spread over 35 games. He has helped with two goals and three assists. His main value as a footballer is versatility: he can play as a center-back, as a left-back, as a pivot or as an interior. A veteran who will help either of the two clubs a lot.
