Fabrizio Romano provides important update on David Alaba's future

According to very reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid remain heavy favourites in the race for David Alaba, who is out of contract with Bayern in the summer.

"David Alaba has reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid since the beginning of January. His pre-contract until June 2025 is ‘almost ready’ - not signed yet," Romano tweeted. "Chelsea, Liverpool as other clubs are still trying to convince him... but Alaba’s priority is joining Real Madrid."

Alaba has announced confirmed that he'll quit Bayern Munich this summer upon his contract. The versatile full-back even mentioned that his Spanish is 'good enough for the pitch', clearly hinting at his next destination.
