David Alaba has matured into a leading player at Bayern. The club is struggling to stay. After a strong season, the Austrian is flirting with a change. His former coach is said to lure him.
NAfter Manchester City’s success in front of the Cas International Sports Court in the fight against the two-year European ban, there is new speculation about a move from Bayern star David Alaba to England. The defender was the main goal of coach Pep Guardiola in his efforts to strengthen the defensive of his team, wrote “The Guardian”. Alaba’s contract with FC Bayern Munich will expire this summer, and there has long been speculation about his future.
The Cas lifted the two-year European Cup exclusion for Manchester City by the European football union Uefa on Monday. The “Guardian” believes that the chances of success of the association in the effort for Alaba would also be increased by reducing the additional fine from 30 million to ten million euros. However, the fact that new stars can continue to present themselves on the Champions League stage is much more important.
Alaba (28) and the six-time English master had always been speculated in the past. Munich midfielder Thiago (29) was also recently traded as a possible entry at the Premier League club. The midfielder was also under discussion at Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp. The Spaniard came from FC Barcelona to FC Bayern in 2013 – at the effort of Guardiola, who at the beginning of his work in Munich had made a strong commitment to his compatriot with the words “Thiago or nothing”. Thiago’s contract also expires on June 30, 2021.
Flick fights for Alaba
Guardiola had already worked with Alaba in Munich. With the Austrian, the Catalan star coach would get the wanted reinforcement for his defense. The long-time full-back Alaba is a big support of FC Bayern this season in Munich under coach Hansi Flick. Guardiola appreciates the versatility of all-rounder Alaba.
The record champion’s defense chief said last that he had not yet made a decision about his future. In addition to a lucrative offer from the island, the Spanish top clubs Real Madrid and FC Barcelona should be particularly exciting for Alaba. At the moment, however, they are much more clingy than the investor clubs from England.
FC Bayern and Flick are fighting for Alaba, who moved to Munich in 2008. The coach recently announced that “with everything I have” would remain for Alaba and Thiago.
