David Alaba has been associated with a transfer for weeks. Now the Bayern boss reports in clear words. Herbert Hainer is certain that the ÖFB star will extend his contract.
His contract expires in 2021. The two parties could not yet agree on an early extension. This in turn feeds transfer rumors. Real, Barca, Manchester City – in the past few years, the 27-year-old has been associated with almost every top club in Europe. With the approaching end of his contract, speculation is picking up speed again.
Much to the displeasure of Bavaria President Herbert Hainer. The 65-year-old now speaks in plain text. When asked about the contracts of Alaba, Manuel Neuer and Thiago, Hainer says: “I am confident that we can extend all three in the foreseeable future.” The boss is aiming for a quick decision: “Of course we want clarity for the club and the players as early as possible.”
Alaba at another club? Hainer: “Why should you go? You play in one of the best teams in the world and in one of the best, if not the best, clubs in the world.”
Instead of giving up leading players, the president speaks of strengthening the squad: “Our goal is always to have a team that can win the Champions League. We will also try to get an international star year after year if possible and necessary.”
