Alaba still choosing clubs: Bayern defender shrinks the list to four clubs

In case you maybe missed it, the David Alaba saga is far from over. Yes, Bayern’s defender is still waging his options, and he is still looking for the highest bidder. And it seems that he won’t be choosing his sides any time soon.

His agent, famous Pini Zahavi, recently informed the football world that his client won’t be rushed with the decision and that he’ll choose alone which club to sign. Currently, there are four clubs in the competition, and Alaba himself has a preference for Spain.

"We're still talking to other clubs. There are still four clubs to choose from, and David has to choose who wins the race. We have not set the deadline" Alaba's adviser Pini Zahavi told Kicker.

Although the alleged leader is in the race to bring in a universal defender who covers the positions of the stopper and left-back equally well, Real Madrid must first solve two problems in their ranks. The first is a contract for Sergio Ramos, because the captain, as things stand now, will be a free agent for the summer. There is no agreement between the two sides yet, and the question is whether there will be one.

David Alaba wants money, and a midfielder role

Problem number two is Rafael Varane, whose contract expires in the summer of 2022, and there are numerous rumors that he is fed up with Real and Primera and that he wants to change the environment. If he tells that to the leaders of the club, they will be forced to sell him, in order to avoid the Alaba situation in Real.

Real has a third problem but doesn’t depend on the club. And his name is Joan Laporta. The new president of Barcelona has big plans for the summer, and the first two names he underlined in the notebook are Erling Halland and David Alaba. The Austrian is perhaps more important to him because he would come to the club without compensation, and Barça does not really swim in money. On the contrary. He will already have to raise money for Holland by selling players from the current facility.

Although both Chelsea and PSG stick to the story, Kicker claims that their chances are small. It seems that they are serving there purely to grow Alaba's offers from the Spanish greats because Primera will almost certainly be a new destination for the Austrian. The only question is whether Madrid or Barcelona.
