David Alaba has become of the main names talked about in European football. The Austrian's contract at Bayern Munich expires in June and, after confirming that he will not stay, the race to get hold of him begins. Real Madrid soon put themselves in the run-in.
There was even talk of a possible agreement between two parts, but 'Bild' now says that Alaba and his agent have not ruled out other options. They really like the Premier League.
According to the cited media outlet, he is waiting for an offer from England. If it comes, the defender will be willing to turn down Real Madrid to move to the Premier League. Alaba will not wait forever.
The German paper has not ruled Barcelona out of the race. Joan Laporta has got Alaba's name noted down thanks to Pini Zahavi, the footballer's agent. That is another option for Alaba. The Catalans' delicate financial situation is the biggest issue with that potential move.
It is only four months until Alaba's Bayern contract runs out and he has yet to find a new club. European giants are after him and they will soon have to make a decision. Until then, he will focus on his current club Bayern Munich.
The versatile 28 year-old Austrian is wanted by many clubs. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Barca. They are all in with a shout of getting him.
