The Spanish sports newspaper Marca revealed that the LaLiga champion Real Madrid have successfully reached an agreement with Bayern Munich, in order to include the Bavarian team's defender David Alaba, starting from next season.

The newspaper stated that Alaba will join the Royal team when his contract with the European champion expires on June 30, and it will be Real Madrid's first deal for the new season.

The 28-year-old Austrian defender was free to negotiate with any club starting from the first of January, and Real Madrid did not waste time to sign him, given that Alaba underwent an early medical examination before joining the Spanish team.

Marca quoted Alaba's agent Pini Zahavi as saying that Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were interested in signing the Austrian, after his relationship with Bayern Munich reached a dead end for financial reasons.

According to what Marca stated earlier, the Royal Club offered Alaba an annual salary of 10 million Euros, and a contract extending to 4 seasons.

Since moving to Bayern Munich in 2010, Alaba has played with the Bavarian team 408 games, scoring 32 goals and 49 assists, and has helped the team win 25 titles, including the 2013 and 2020 UEFA Champions League.
