George Alaba, father of David Alaba, Real Madrid's new player has spoken on the Bayern Insider Podcast about his son's departure from Bayern and it doesn't seem like he was very friendly.
Renewal
“I don't want to go into detail, but those responsible know what really happened. I can only say that with the passage of time, positions became very much hardened and that we did not have any kind of discussion about money. Therefore, I did not get to understand why, in the end, he did not stop talking about money. The talks started before the Covid. I was disappointed because it was used as an excuse in our case when there was some other renovation in the same period of time that passed in a quiet way ”.
The farewell
“David was looking for a new challenge, but I have to admit that there were some things that weren't quite right. We will always miss this club for the treatment we receive and for making us feel comfortable ”.
About David Alaba's agent
“He did not deserve to be called a greedy piranha. I reject it completely. It was leaked that we were asking for 20 million euros to renew, then 19.5. What figure are we left with? And all this to, later, go to the press in the most populist way possible and call Pini a “greedy piranha”. Words failed me. I do not want to criticize anyone in particular, but it did not come to mind “.
Offers
“Yes of course. David had a number of offers, among others from the Top4 from England, two from Italy and three from Germany. Everybody know this. For the love of Bayern, we stayed. Mehmet Scholl was his idol ”.
Reunion with Ancelotti
“Thank God David is an open boy who treats everyone with love and sincerity. Carlo is a great coach. We'll see how it goes there. I can't say too much, just that we are very excited that this door has been opened to David ”.
