David Alaba's new advisor has caused a stir at Bayern. Pini Zahavi immediately planned a crazy swap with Leroy Sané. The FCB star did not want that at all.
- Despite the corona crisis *, the personnel carousel at Bayern is slowly picking up speed
- Apparently, David Alaba's new advisor was planning a spectacular exchange with Leroy Sané *
- It is questionable whether Pini Zahavi always represents the interests of his clients
Munich - Pinha's "Pini" Zahavi is often referred to as a star consultant in the football industry. He started his first business as a player agent in the late 1970s. In the recent past, Zahavi caused a sensation with Neymar's € 222 million change from Barcelona to Paris.
The fact that the 76-year-old boxed through the most spectacular deal in football history still plays a key role in the search for suitable clients. As with Bayern kicker David Alaba . The Austrian has always been advised by father George. But recently it became known that the father is probably working with Zahavi for the further planning of his son's career.
Bayern: David Alaba about to jump? Austrian has Real Madrid in focus
Alaba's contract with the German record champions expires on June 30, 2021 . Should the defender force a change to another top club , then this would be the right time. Secret wish club: Real Madrid . Zahavi must have got wind of these mind games and then contacted Papa Alaba in order to make him like working together. Other Bundesliga players have already had the experience that Zahavi is not always able to implement player change requests. The most prominent example: Robert Lewandowski *.

As you know, the Pole wanted to switch to Real Madrid in the summer of 2018, even made these thoughts public as part of his possibilities as a player and exchanged his then advisor Cezary Kucharski for Zahavi. The Israeli immediately went on the offensive and opened the bill of exchange poker. “Robert feels that he needs a change and a new challenge in his career. Those responsible at FC Bayern know about it, ”he told Sport Bild in May 2018. The Bayern bosses put a stop to the move to the royal team and Lewy ultimately extended his contract a year later to summer 2023.
Bayern: David Alaba in exchange with Leroy Sané for ManCity? Zahavi's mad transfer plan
Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has had similar experiences. When his loan business with Eintracht Frankfurt ended after last season, the keeper actually wanted to go back to Paris Saint Germain - as number one. At that point, Trapp had replaced his former advisor Jörg Neubauer with Zahavi. And he should have been of the opinion that the Neymar deal had enough influence at PSG to get Trapp a regular place in Paris - or, if necessary, at another top European club. Think!
The Parisians sold Trapp to Eintracht and signed Keylor Navas from Real Madrid in September 2019. The following fact shows that Zahavi is not always about the interests of his players, but above all about doing business. As the tz found out, the player agent David Alaba recently offered at Manchester City in exchange for Leroy Sané . Problem: The Munich resident is not interested in going there. No wonder: City is excluded from the Champions League for the next two years due to violations of financial fair play. Zahavi is looking for alternatives to Real Madrid because coach Zinedine Zidane has already decided internally that he plans with Ferland Mendy as a left-back. So it is very likely that Zahavi will not accommodate the next Munich in Madrid ...
