Chelsea, Manchester City battle to sign Bayern Munich defender

Chelsea and Manchester City are supposedly planning to battle to sign Bayern Munich defender David Alaba toward the end of the season.

The 28-year-old will be accessible on a free transfer toward the end of June, and various clubs are supposed to be keen on signing him.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have been firmly connected with the Austria international, who has scored twice and given two assists in 33 appearances for his German club during the 2020-21 season.

In any case, as indicated by report, neither of the Spanish clubs can manage the cost of the £400,000 weekly contract that David Alaba is requesting because of the financial issues brought about by the Covid outbreak.

Therefore, the report asserts that Chelsea and Man City are currently in a battle for the Bayern Munich defender.

David Alaba’s agent Pini Zahavi recently denied ideas that his client has effectively agreed with Barcelona over a move to Camp Nou not long from now.

The talented defender has also recently been connected with Manchester United.
