David Alaba has recently been advised by Pinha's "Pini" Zahavi , which many already consider a sign of farewell. The Israeli players' agent is an old handler in the scene and is known for its controversial deals and investments. He has been involved in the club takeovers of Chelsea and Portsmouth in recent years . His protégés include, for example, Bayern's goalie Robert Lewandowski *, Alex Telles from FC Porto or the oldie stars Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez. Zahavi is particularly known for his contacts in England .

The problem: Pini Zahavi is currently unable to enter Germany due to the corona pandemic * and therefore cannot conduct any contract negotiations in Säbener Straße. So it still has to be a while before certainty prevails at Alaba and Bayern. The 27-year-old's contract currently runs until summer 2021. 

The contract talks with David Alaba are currently not taking place because consultant Pini Zahavi is not allowed to enter due to the corona crisis in order to start talks with Bavaria and, because the management sees Bayern managers as forced to make a better offer [@ SPORT1] pic.twitter .com / ocwoWk1mpH

FC Bayern: Corona crisis is not the only reason - Alaba demands a better offer

However, according to Sport1 , the corona crisis * is not the only stone that has been put in the way of the Bayern bosses . The management of Alaba allegedly sees FC Bayern * under pressure to submit a better offer to the Austrian. If there is no agreement by summer , Alaba could change after twelve years in the Bayern squad *. 

Supposedly it comes to Alaba not questioned without a contract extension to contest his last year of contract at Bayern *. According to fussballtransfers.de , Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus Turin should be interested in Alaba. Hasan Salihamidzic and Hansi Flick * also communicated to strive to remain the primary rock.

In the meantime, football Germany is discussing the resumption of gaming operations in the form of ghost games. Now the Ultras are also positioning themselves - and are clearly criticizing this project.
