In imitation of Sky also reports BILD that David Alaba will play for Real Madrid next season. The defender is transfer-free from Bayern Munich and will sign a five-year contract in Madrid. The fact that no transfer fee has to be paid does not mean that Real can strike for free. After all, according to the generally well-established newspaper, during the negotiations with Alaba there is talk of a signing bonus of twenty to thirty million euros. “Madness!” Concludes BILD in its own article.

Alaba will also earn an annual salary of twelve million euros net, the newspaper claims. This amounts to sixty million euros over a period of five seasons. Including the signing money, Alaba’s earnings in Madrid service can thus amount to ninety million euros. The Austrian’s five-year contract has not yet been signed, but it is expected to happen in the coming weeks. He would be Real’s first major acquisition for next season. In February, Alaba announced that he would be leaving Bayern after this season.

A week after that press conference reported BILD that in addition to Real and Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain was also interested. Alaba reportedly spoke to Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the chairman and owner of PSG, and received a concrete offer from the club. At the time, the media in Germany reported that he preferred a switch to Real. Alaba said in a press conference in February that he wanted to leave Bayern to ‘try something new’. “It was by no means an easy decision. I walked thirteen at the club and owe a lot to Bayern Munich.”

Bayern already pre-arranged the defender’s departure and took over Dayot Upamecano from RB Leipzig. The Frenchman is seen at Bayern as the future successor to Alaba. In recent years, the latter has become a figurehead of the extremely successful Bayern. After a rental period at TSG Hoffenheim, he played himself in the base in the main force of the German top club. He now has 427 duels in all competitions to his name. In addition to twice the Champions League, Alaba won nine German league titles and six national cups in Munich. Furthermore, the defender also won the World Cup for club teams this year.
