'Le Parisien' says that whoever David Alaba signs for next season, they must meet one of his demands. He wants to play in midfield. The still Bayern Munich player is versatile and can also play as a centre back and a full back.

David Alaba is one of the most versatile footballers in the world and among one of the best at it. He will leave Bayern at the end of the season, as he himself announced, and wherever he goes, he wants to play as a midfielder. Real Madrid and PSG are candidates.

That is the information 'Le Parisien' publishes. Real Madrid and PSG should have not a problem in finding a place for him. Zinedine Zidane has an aging midfield and Pochettino could rotate among his midfielder to allow Alaba to play. Ander Herrera, Draxler, Gueye, Verratti and Paredes are the ones who could rotate.

In addition, the coach can always play him elsewhere if the situation requires. For example, if he were at Real Madrid now, he could easily step in to replace the injured Ramos, Marcelo, Carvajal and Militao. A bit like what Lucas Vazquez currently does. 

Alaba's heat map, offered by BeSoccer Pro, goes into depth on this versatility that he possesses. He wants this to end at his new club though. He plays a lot in the middle and on the left flank.
