The Austrian international has been the Reds\u2019 first-choice left-back for almost the entirety of the last decade. He can also fill in at centre-back, where he has spent much of this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In his 372 matches for Bayern, Alaba has scored 30 goals and assisted 48. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bundesliga.com\/en\/bundesliga\/news\/david-alaba-the-world-s-best-left-back-marcelo-alex-sandro-lucas-hernandez-1811\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">been credited<\/a> with being the world\u2019s best left-back, but with his most recent comments, it is uncertain whether his future lies in Munich.<\/p>\n<h3>What Alaba Said<\/h3>\n<p>Although he <a href=\"https:\/\/bulinews.com\/news\/4805\/david-alaba-wont-rule-out-bayern-departure\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> that he is happy with the Star of the South, Alaba can \u2018imagine taking a different path.<\/p>\n<p>Alaba has Barcelona and Real Madrid both interested in signing him, in addition to others like <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a>, and both clubs will fight hard to win the signature of the 27-year-old<\/p>\n<h3>Bayern Munich Might Lose David Alaba with Real and Barca Fighting Over him<\/h3>\n<p>With just over a year left on his contract, Bayern have not yet offered Alaba a renewal. Due to this situation, the left-back could be up for sale for as little as \u20ac35-40m, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/david-alaba\/leistungsdatendetails\/spieler\/59016\/plus\/0?saison=&amp;verein=&amp;liga=&amp;wettbewerb=&amp;pos=&amp;trainer_id=\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfermarkt<\/a> giving him a market value of over\u00a0\u20ac65.<\/p>\n<p>Alaba could help Barcelona a lot in the immediate future. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4601e194\/Jordi-Alba?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordi Alba<\/a>, 31, is ageing despite still being the first choice, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/24f59bb2\/Junior-Firpo\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">J\u00fanior Firpo<\/a>, 23, is slowly making his way into the starting team. Alaba could provide a transition between the two, and a great one at that.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid have a similar situation. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=603116a7,e3d0b0c4,300b455d,567a4596&amp;search=Marcelo&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcelo<\/a> is ageing at 31, while <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3cefcaef\/Ferland-Mendy?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ferland Mendy<\/a> is an up and coming 24-year-old who is integrating into the first team.
