Alaba, 28, joined Bayern Munich back in 2008 and during a 12-year spell has featured in over 400 matches in all competitions.
The experienced Austrian who is known for his defensive versatility has remained a constant figurehead with the Bundesliga champions and has played a huge role in his side lifting 25 major trophies.
Arguably Alaba’s most memorable period with the record 30-times Bundesliga winners came last season during a campaign which saw the Bavarians win a remarkable treble including the illustrious Champions League.
However, despite a hugely successful time with Hans-Dieter Flick’s side, Alaba’s long-term future has recently become the subject of much speculation.
The 28-year-old’s contract is set to expire next summer and with no signs of a renewal, the Austrian defender looks all but certain to make a remarkable switch in six-months time.
Although Alaba’s next club is still unknown, leading journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the player views a switch to La Liga giants Real Madrid as a ‘dream move’.
David Alaba has received informal approaches from five different clubs for summer 2021.
