According to the newspaper 'AS', Pini Zahavi, David Alaba's agent, holds the key to the Austrian's arrival at Real Madrid. The player would come to the team on a free, but the Israeli, who will get a cut of the commission, has the last word.
Despite facing a global problem with the coronavirus and the relevant economic consequences, there are players who do not intend to give up even one euro from their contracts.
Alaba, who ends his contract with Bayern on June 30, has decided to go to Real Madrid and 'AS' reports that the player wants to earn 12 million, which Sergio Ramos currently earns.
This is a problem because the captain has not yet renewed and does not want his wage to go down. The key to the arrival of the Austrian is whatever Zahavi decides, the agent of the player.
He has already tried to get Lewandowski out of Bayern and into Madrid, but there was no way of convincing the German team. Now, the situation is quite different.
The German club doesn't even see it as Alaba's fault that he has not decided to renew. 'AS' says that the agent asked the 'Bavarian Giant' for a 20 million commission for the extension of his contract.
Hoeness described him as "a greedy piranha" and that is why the arrival of the footballer in Madrid depends on how much he wants to get out of his transfer, as the aforementioned source emphasises.
