David Alaba’ signature has been a subject of great interest from a host of big clubs across Europe and Liverpool FC show no willingness to back down from making a move for the wantaway Bayern Munich star defender.
Reports earlier had suggested that Real Madrid looked certain to seal the signing of the Austrian international but Alaba’s demands of fetching more than €11 million in annual wages are understood to be the cause of a halting point in the talks between the two parties.
Such a turn of events has helped Liverpool FC’s conviction of persuading the Bayern man to secure a move to England and turn out in the Merseyside Reds colours, according to reports from Football Espana.
The lack of first-team options in the centre-back spot at Anfield owing to the injury crisis has greatly affected the fortunes of Jurgen Klopp’s men whilst on the pitch and the Liverpool FC gaffer seems determined in his plans to bring Alaba on board on Merseyside alongside his former Bayern teammate Thiago Alcantara.
Alaba’s resourcefulness on the pitch knows no limits and the defender’s ability to turn out in the centre of the park is another brilliant dimension of the Austrian’s style of play, leaving Klopp and Co. much to ponder over heading into the summer.
