Man City pull back as Chelsea remain in touch for Bayern Munich Bosman Alaba
Posted Wednesday, March 31, 2021 by Tribalfootball.com
Chelsea have NOT dropped their pursuit of Bayern Munich's Bosman prospect David Alaba.
Chelsea are reportedly refusing to give up in the race to sign Alaba for free this summer - but his £400,000-a-week wage demands remain an issue.
However, Manchester City have decided to end their interest in the Austrian defender.
Alaba, 28, revealed he will leave Bayern Munich after 13 years on a free transfer this summer when his contract expires.
Real Madrid and Barcelona appeared to be battling it out for his signature with no transfer fee required.
But despite reports in Germany that Alaba had rejected approaches from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, the player's agent confirmed his client has not decided just yet.
And Pini Zahavi - who also looks after Bayern team-mate Robert Lewandowski - refuted suggestions it is simply a two-horse race for Alaba between the LaLiga giants.
He told Kicker: "David has to choose who wins the race. But we are still talking with other clubs. There is no deadline."
