Liverpool, Man City, Juventus all battling for Alaba

A host of clubs are lining up for Bayern Munich fullback David Alaba.

The German club have confirmed Alaba will not sign a contract extension with them.

Alaba, 28, will become a free agent at the end of this season and can negotiate with foreign clubs in January.

Spanish outlet AS says Liverpool, Manchester City, Juventus, PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all keen on Alaba.

The Austria international can play at left-back, centre-back or in the midfield.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer revealed earlier this week that the club have withdrawn their offer of a new five-year contract for Alaba after the Austria international’s representative rejected their latest proposal.

The 28-year-old, who has been at Bayern since 2008, sees his current deal run out in 2021. Contract talks have dragged on for months, reportedly due to the player’s annual salary.

‘We submitted to David and his advisor some time ago what we think was a very good offer,’ Hainer told broadcaster BR late on Sunday.

‘During the last meeting we had said we wanted clarity by the end of October. We did not hear anything until yesterday and we contacted his advisor.

‘The answer was that the offer was still unsatisfactory and we should think about it again. We then decided to take the offer completely off the table. This means there is no longer an offer.’
