Liverpool FC is also reportedly getting into David Alaba’s poker. Real Madrid meanwhile remains the favorite to sign the Bayern star.
Real Madrid are the favorites to sign David Alaba from Bayern Munich without a transfer fee, but now Liverpool are also said to want to join the transfer poker for the Austrian. Alaba’s departure from FCB after the contract expires in the summer is apparently already a done deal.
As the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in Guardian reports, the team around coach Jürgen Klopp is working hard to sign Alaba for a free transfer after the end of the current season: The Reds have already contacted Alaba’s management around consultant Pini Zahavi.
FC Bayern: Real Madrid top favorite to sign David Alaba
For Liverpool, Alaba would be a strengthening of the defensive, in which Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are currently out in the long term and would have to get back to their top form in the coming season. Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig is also traded in the media as a possible Liverpool newcomer.
Klopp’s chances of signing Alaba seem rather slim: According to information from Goal and SPOX Zahavi and Alaba are already negotiating with Real Madrid, Los Blancos are top favorites when it comes to the transfer – also because the Austrian always emphasized that he wanted to play for one of the two top clubs Real or Barca in Spain. However, an agreement on the salary is still pending.
Alaba will most likely leave Bayern in the summer after twelve years. The Austrian had turned down several offers to extend the contract in the past few months, after which the Bavarians withdrew their offer in a media-effective manner. The tablecloth between club and player is cut in this regard.
