Is David Alaba going to another top European league? In any case, recent statements indicate that he does not necessarily see his future at Bayern.
- David Alaba has now got stuck in the defensive center of FC Bayern.
- The Austrian's contract expires in 2021.
- Now Alaba is fueling rumors of a change.
Munich - While the Bayern * defense has been repeatedly jumbled up in the past due to long-term failures (Niklas Süle and Lucas Hernandez) and fluctuations in performance (Jerome Boateng), there is still a constant. And this is called David Alaba . Due to the shortage of personnel in the central defender position, the Austrian under Hansi Flick * permanently rotated from the left to the headquarters and does an outstanding job there.
Bayern's game benefits enormously from David Alaba
The game of Bayern and the system under Flick benefits enormously from the game overview and the good building game Alabas on the defensive . Another positive side effect: mega-talent Alphonso Davies has firmly played with strong performances in the vacant left-back position and sees a lot of playing time.
Alaba has blossomed into absolute defense in the absence of Süle and Hernandez and also celebrated his tenth anniversary at FC Bayern these days. At the age of 16 he pitched his tents in Munich and has been an absolute top performer in the FCB squad * for years.
Is Alaba's future in England? "I can imagine, ..."
Now, however, the defensive man made statements in an interview with the English newspaper "Daily Mail" for sweat beads on the forehead of numerous Bayern fans and his responsible. When asked if he could imagine one day playing in the English Premier League, Alaba replied meaningfully: “We'll see. I'm not thinking too much about it at the moment. But I can imagine playing somewhere else in the future. "
Numerous contracts expire in 2021 - Bayern bosses should not be too long
Reminder: With its contract expiring in 2021, Alaba belongs to the pool of Bayern players whose contracts will all expire in 2021, including players such as Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, Thiago, Javi Martinez and Jerome Boateng. Those responsible for Hasan Salihamidzic have a lot to do, but first want to wait for the round of 16 in the Champions League against Chelsea. Only talks with Manuel Neuer are said to have already taken place.
Alaba's statements increase the pressure on "Brazzo" and Co. and show that bosses should not take their time in personnel decisions for too long, otherwise the top European clubs will take advantage of the moment.
On Sunday, Bayern want to take back the top of the table at 1. FC Köln (all information in the live ticker).
