As speculated since January, David Alaba is confirmed to leave at the end of the current season, with his contract set to expire in the summer. The news has further been detailed by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano on his social media handles, with his final destination yet to be confirmed. 

Real Madrid have reportedly been in contact with the player since the winter transfer window. They have reached a verbal agreement with the player, but the official contract is yet to be signed by the player.

The speculated pre-contract agreement will see the player sign a deal for four years with Los Blancos, committing to the Spanish club on paper till 2025. He is expected to draw a salary worth €12 million per season which will put him amongst the highest earners at the club. 

It is well known that Alaba dreams of playing for Real Madrid, but the move has not yet been finalised. Moreover, the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool are also in pursuit of the Austrian in an attempt to bolster their own defense.

But, with that said, the priority for the soon to be an ex-Bayern man is to feature at the Spanish capital next season. 

Bayern Munich have signed Dayot Upamecano as a replacement for the outgoing player, who has been at the club for a decade now. During his time with the Bavarian giants, he has managed to establish himself as one of the best, as well as the most versatile in the world. 

After winning everything that there is to win in club football with Bayern, it is only fitting that the ambitious 28-year-old seek a fresh, new challenge elsewhere.
