David Alaba....

I'd love for us to get him and rotate him with Matic in a CMF/DMF position, until he eventually phases out Matic. Splendid player.
Money being the keyword. According to some Munich media this is the bit standing between him and Bayern for a new contract, they offer 15Mio a year, he wants 20.
Not too many clubs with that kind of money to spend on a defender....
City probably would as its not their money so they don't care. PSG the same.
The decision to not punish them for FFP transgressions doesn't help this situation, either.
In the end he'll sign extension.
He will if Bayern pay up. Allegedly they offer €15m and he is looking for €20m.
If we lose both Alaba and Thiago in one window, that's a lot of quality missing at once. I don't like any of that.
Would be a perfect signing for us. I mean he’d probably be our best LB, LCB, and possibly DM if we signed him
100%. They have Goretzka so it makes sense if they can afford not to extend Thiago who's already 29. They can't afford to lose Alaba. They got 32 yo Boateng and injury prone Hernandez, in additional he can provide LB backup.
He's in a fotoshoot with our next season's Bundesliga away kit. I'll take it as a good sign
Was probably taken months ago.
Anyone else think we should be all over this ?
We should. But I don't think it's about us but the player. If he doesn't want to go to City then he's not coming here
I can only see him going to Barca or Real to be honest. Pep might have an outside shot, but those clubs won’t pay him €20m p.a. this window that he seems to be asking for.
So 400k a week plus transfer fee? Think we should pass....
Don’t believe everything you read , there’s no club going to pay him that
He’s being offered 300k by Bayern, so someone will need to beat that, as he thinks he can get more.

I still believe he is just playing hard ball for his extension, but we would sell at 36m€?! That would be a desaster, i value Alaba for Bayern well higher than Sane for example.
Yeah but the pictures were released just now. So it's probsbly a feckup by the PR department either because they didn't pay attention, or because they spilled the beans.
I might know of a club that wouldn't scoff at big wages David...
400k a week is a lot, even for us. No way will Bayern pay him that much.
Could be a way of trying to force a move
400k a week? The agent is deluded
It means we can have both Alaba and Thiago for around 70milions and cover Lb, Cb and Dm with Alaba and Dm, Cm, Am with Thiago. add Sancho to those two and we will have the best window in a decade. Not gonna happen anyway.

Yeah there is no doubt they would provide so many cover options but like you say never gonna happen in a million years
Rio’s ex agent. He’ll get him a deal somewhere.
edit: but he’s not worth that to Bayern. Not with Sule, Davies, Lucas.
Would be a superb signing but not for 400k wages. Is his agent drunk?
Yeah we aren't talking about Mbappe or Ronaldo here mate

400k Euros is actually less than what we are paying to a declining keeper every week.
He's been a very valuable part of Bayern for a long time and he rarely gets the praise he deserves. Sule has been injured, same with Hernandez, and Alaba has been able to slot into CB alongside Boateng which has enabled Flick to get Davies on as LB/LWB. Alaba and Kimmich are two Bayern players, along with Pavard, I really appreciate and like. Smart, very sound, very reliable, great temperament, and very versatile players.
That's quite a high wage for a defensive first type player regardless of how important he is to the club. If Lewendowski asked for those wages, that'd be a no brainer but Alaba, not so fast.

Paying 400k pw for a defensive Player is absolutely ridiculous. We could definitely do it though.
Zahavi is the agent who made the PSG deal and transfer for Neymar...
Contract talks breaking down. Apparently us and Chelsea interested. Thoughts?
Can play centre back, left back and defensive midfield. Way too good to be true.
