Although the future of David Alaba is still open. However, there is much more to be said for an extension of his contract with FC Bayern than against it.
Actually, the talks between FC Bayern’s management and David Alaba’s management should be intensified after the Champions League season.
Since Alaba agent Pini Zahavi and the FCB bosses around sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and board boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge will be on site in Lisbon, a meeting is now planned as part of the final tournament of the Champions League.
The Bavarians have yet to qualify for this tournament, and on Saturday the record-breaking champions go into the second leg of the round of sixteen in their own stadium against Chelsea FC with a 3-0 lead. (Champions League: FC Bayern Munich – FC Chelsea, Saturday 9pm)
Alaba showdown in Lisbon?
Alaba has career end at FC Bayern as goal
The initial situation is clear: the Munich-based company wants to extend the Bavarian star beyond 2021 in the long term. But Alaba is still hesitating to sign the contract. A decision could be made this month.
Another important factor is its newly won status. In the course of this season, Alaba has developed from a reliable left-back to a defensive boss in central defence. Under head coach Hansi Flick he is also an important member of the team council.
