So where will David Alaba play next season? If you ask the Austrian star’s father and agent, George Alaba, despite reports in Spain, nothing is closed yet about his son’s future, and he told Bild reporter Christian Falk: “Nothing is closed yet with Real Madrid, and nothing “There are other clubs that are interested.”
Although it is still unclear how Real Madrid’s season will end, it seems already clear who it wants to be the first acquisition this summer, and in Marca it was reported last night that David Alaba, who will end his contract at Bayern Munich, will become the Blancos player starting July 1, after Who closed his terms at a club from the Spanish capital.
This is not the first time the German media has denied a Marca report on Alaba, after only two weeks ago, the Madrid newspaper reported that the Spanish-Austrian champions’ agreement was an “immediate” one, a report that has been denied by Bild and Sky Germany. However, despite the words of Alaba Sr., “Bild” wrote that Real Madrid is still the team leading the race for the services of the European champion.

According to the Spanish report, the Austrian star will sign a four-year contract, for an annual salary of 12 million euros, so that along with taxes and additional costs, the total deal will cost Real Madrid about 80 million euros over the next few years. Even in the Corona period, it can be said that this is not a bad deal at all for the European champions’ opening brake, whose 28-year-old is valued at 65 million euros.
According to “Marca”, Real Madrid are in any case planning to strengthen their brakes this summer. Compared to Alaba, for comparison, Adar Militau cost Blancos € 50 million, and has yet to really fit into Zinedine Zidane’s central defense. Pau Torres from Villarreal, who was mentioned as a candidate to wear white next season, was also supposed to cost about 50 million euros, in addition of course to his salary.
Real Madrid followed the Austrian’s situation at Bayern, and at least according to “Marca”, they managed to conclude with his father and his agent Pini Zehavi his terms in free transfer. It was also written that Alaba was returned by Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus and Chelsea, but in the end the player chose the Spanish team, which he has wanted to play in the media for several years.
By the way, this is not the first time the Blancos have found a reality in Bavaria, after in 2014 they added Tony Cross. Although the German connection did not come for free, it was bought for only 25 million euros, a price that is especially affordable for all opinions.
Indeed, in the shadow of the economic damage brought about by the Corona crisis, there is no doubt that in Madrid you must find cost-effective solutions if you want to attach more procurement. “Real Madrid are thinking of Arling Holland and Killian Ambape, but her wallet does not allow it,” senior journalist Joseph Federroll reported tonight. He added that if it decides to sell Ambape this summer, Paris Saint-Germain will demand 150 million euros for him, an amount that Real Madrid are not sure can afford, so it is more likely that, like Alaba, the Frenchman will arrive at the end of his contract in 2022.
It was also reported that depending on the economic situation following the Corona crisis, the cut in players ‘salaries planned for 10% may increase to 25%, and it will be interesting to see how this is received among the Spanish champions’ squad. In addition, it is not inconceivable that the club will sell players this summer.
