The mystery of David Alaba's future club has been solved.
The long-time Bayern star has signed a contract.
But one question that is important to him is still unanswered.
Munich - Now David Alaba * has left FC Bayern * behind for good. He opens the new chapter in his professional career at Real Madrid * - the Spanish record champions announced this Friday (May 28). Alongside FC Barcelona, the “royal” have long been the favorites to sign the Austrian, who himself announced his departure from Munich at a press conference * a few weeks ago.
The Primera Division * has long been Alaba's dream destination, but in recent months it has also been associated with Paris St. Germain, Liverpool FC, Manchester City, Juventus Turin and Chelsea FC.
With the record winner of the Champions League, he receives a five-year contract, as the club revealed on its social media channels.
Under the hashtag #WelcomeAlaba, the left-footer was greeted with a small clip in which a portrait photo was placed in a folder with the name “Real Madrid 21/22”.
In addition, a jersey is already flocked with his name.

Alaba to Real Madrid: won ten championships with Bayern
Alaba moved from Austria Vienna to Säbener Straße * in 2008 shortly after his 16th birthday. Since then, apart from a six-month loan to TSG Hoffenheim in 2011, he has remained loyal to the Reds. The Viennese-born competed for the professionals 431 times, scoring 33 goals. Alaba referred to his lavish trophy collection in his last official post as a Bayern star: he won ten Bundesliga championships, six DFB Cup *, twice the Champions League *, five times the German Supercup, twice the UEFA Supercup and twice the FIFA Club World Cup.
Alaba is now ending this success story of its own free will, because FC Bayern would have loved to extend it with him.
Last autumn, however, President Herbert Hainer announced the end of the negotiations *.
An agreement between the executive floor and the players' side around advisor Pini Zahavi * and Alaba's father seemed hardly possible at the time.
One could read of the horrific demands of the Alaba camp.
The left foot himself publicly stated that the reason for the air change was the desire to say goodbye to the comfort zone.
However, tears have also flowed recently at Alaba *.

Alaba to Real Madrid: Question about future coach has yet to be clarified
At Real Madrid *, here club icon Sergio Ramos captain is about to leave, he first has to work out such a standing.
In Munich, Alaba was rarely allowed to play in his preferred position in defensive midfield.
But also as the left part of the back four and in recent years as a central defender and head of defense, he blossomed into a world class.
With his move to Spain, Alaba could celebrate a reunion with Javi Martinez next season.
The midfielder is believed to be returning to Athletic Bilbao after failing to get a new contract with Bayern.
It is still unclear from which trainer Alaba will receive his instructions in the future.
Zinedine Zidane is leaving Real Madrid a year before the end of the contract after a season without a title - officially at her own request.
As a successor, among other things, still national coach Joachim Löw is traded *.
"Zidane is one of Real Madrid's great myths and his legend goes beyond what he has done as a coach and player for our club," said Real farewell to the Frenchman.
So an exciting new chapter is being opened - maybe Alaba will be one of the main protagonists.
