Alaba to announce on Tuesday that he is leaving Bayern

The moment has arrived. After numerous rumours about his exit from Bayern, Alaba is going to announce on Tuesday that he is putting an end to his 12-year stay at the German outfit.

That is what 'Bild' states, which also notes that the player's wish is to sign for Real Madrid. His priority is Los Blancos, although it's not being ruled out him ending up in the Premier League if negotiations don't come to fruition.

What has led him to leave Bayern? The Austrian understands that the Bavarian club haven't made a financial effort to keep him in their ranks even though they are going through a difficult period because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Bavarian giants withdrew his renewal offer and even Uli Hoeness criticised Zahavi, the player's agent: "He talks nonsense all the time. He's a greedy piranha".

Negotiations broke down and Madrid made the most of the occasion to move close to the player. Madrid are best placed to sign him but there is one problem: his salary.

'ESPN' and 'The Telegraph' revealed his demands and he is asking for a wage of 22 million euros per season, which would make him the best-paid defender in the world.
