Alaba is on his way to Real Madrid
With every day that goes by, David Alaba seems to be getting closer to the Santiago Bernabeu. All paths lead towards the defender joining Real Madrid.
After Wednesday's reports that the Real Madrid Foundation had started selling Alaba shirts, now Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the signing is closer than ever to being completed.
The Italian journalist confirmed that David Alaba has officially decided on Real Madrid. Romano reported on his social media that the defender will join Madrid after his contract ends with Bayern on 30 June. You have his word on that.
Romano confirms that the verbal contract between both parties was sealed in January. Once Alaba signs the contract, he will earn a healthy 12 million euros a year.
Other clubs had made offers for Alaba, including Chelsea, PSG, Bayern and Liverpool. However, his dream was always to play for Real Madrid, and for that reason he said 'yes' to 'Los Blancos' when they came calling.
