David Alaba: is he staying or is he going?
The contract for 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.
Update from October 29th, 2:23 pm:
While the sporty
"Hansi attack" was
the buzzword on Säbener Strasse this week, the
"Alaba dilemma" is
the major construction site in
FC Bayern's
personnel
planning
- but has been since Months.
Because even at the end of October there is no sign of a contract extension with the 28-year-old.
A third round of negotiations has apparently failed again, which
is said to have moved
the
FCB bosses
to a general rethink in terms of early contract extension * with the top stars.
In addition, the list of prospects for Alaba is not getting any smaller.
The
FC Barcelona
supposed to be the defender of the championship record as interested as
Real Madrid
and
Juventus
.
Now
Liverpool * should
even deal with Alaba, as
Football Insider
reported.
Accordingly, the Reds are ready to put an incredible 65 million euros on the table for the defender.
The reason: Jürgen Klopp's team had to do without its captain for months.
Virgil van Dijk
suffered a serious knee injury in the derby against Everton - which is why Liverpool are now allegedly looking for a replacement in their central defense.
It
remains to be seen
whether that will be found in the form of
David Alaba
.
David Alaba (FC Bayern): Contract chaos continues - worst-case scenario threatens
Munich -
David Alaba
delivered a solid Champions League game early Tuesday evening.
The Austrian did his job
properly
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.

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 has apparently been 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.
