David Alaba: is he staying or is he going?

The contract deal with the Austrian goes into the next round.

An extension is apparently becoming increasingly unlikely.

  • David Alaba has been under contract with FC Bayern * since 2008.

  • His contract expires in 2021.

  • The negotiations for an extension have been going on for months - with no result.

Munich -

David Alaba

delivered a solid Champions League game early Tuesday evening.

The Austrian did his job well in the Zitter win in

Moscow

(2-1), but occasionally had a few wobbles in his game.

Anyway, the main thing is won, some in the Munich camp will (rightly) think.

What

FC Bayern

meanwhile can not be indifferent to is the ongoing

contract farce around David Alaba

.

Now the bickering seems to be going into the next round.

FC Bayern Munich: will Alaba's expiring contract be extended?

Tough negotiations continue

Alaba's working paper

expires in summer

2021

.

The

Bayern

want very much like to extend with the regulars.

Basically,

Alaba

wants that too, but probably only if the appreciation in his person is also noticeable financially.

Since March, the Austrian has hired a new player agent -

Pini Zahavi

*.

The Israeli, known in the industry for multi-million dollar transfers (for example Neymar) and tough negotiations, has become the linchpin of the Alaba negotiations.

Only recently had Bayern honorary president

Uli Hoeneß

accused

him of

demanding an oversized commission.

Born in Ulm, he described the player's agent as a “greedy piranha” *.

Because of

Zahavi in

particular

, the negotiations with the Alaba side would drag on.

Pini Zahavi probably played a decisive role in the fact that the contract negotiations between FC Bayern and David Alaba stall.

The consultant is asking for more money.

FC Bayern Munich: Probably another conversation between the Alaba side and club management - no result

After two intensive discussions in the summer, there should have been another meeting between the consultant and the club management a few days ago.

As the

SportBild reported

on Wednesday,

Zahavi

and

Alaba's father George

, main advisor to the defender, met with the Munich executive

suite

last Friday

.

In the talks with CEO

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

and sports director

Hasan Salihamidzic

, however, there would have been no agreement again.

A contract extension is therefore becoming increasingly unlikely.

Accordingly, it fails once again on the financial side.

The record champion * is now even said to offer a five-year contract instead of a four-year contract, but the basic salary is less open.

Ultimately, the Munich would offer eleven million per year plus possible bonuses, so that

Alaba

would move into the area of ​​top earners in the squad *.

Obviously not enough

for

Zahavi

and father George.

FC Bayern Munich: Alaba extension stalled - is the worst-case scenario threatened?

It is interesting that

Zahavi

not only represents

Alaba

, but also

Robert Lewandowski

*.

So he knows how much salary the Pole

receives

at

Bayern

.

The six-time Austrian Footballer of the Year should probably earn at least as much.

The Alaba side is also said to be disappointed that

Rummenigge

and

Jan-Christian Dreesen broke

an alleged promise from 2016.

At that time it was about guaranteed playing times in midfield, Alaba's position in the national team.

In retrospect,

Zahavi

and

George Alaba consider

this promise not to be fulfilled.

The fact that no agreement could apparently be reached after three negotiations makes a contract extension increasingly unlikely.

The

Alaba side

wants more money,

FC Bayern is

sticking to its principles - at the moment it doesn't look like either of the two parties will change its position.

Therefore, the triple winner threatens the worst-case scenario:

Alaba

could

leave FCB in

2021 for

free.

That would be a bitter loss not only because of its market value of 65 million euros, but also above all in terms of sport.
