David Alaba is eager to secure his future with Bayern Munich after an impressive start to the season. The Austrian player, recognizing his crucial role in the club’s system, is looking to extend his contract with Bayern. However, according to German daily Bild, Alaba has set a high bar, demanding an annual salary of 6 million euros for the extension, with his current contract set to expire in June 2015.
The ambitious salary request raises questions about how Bayern Munich’s leadership will respond. Despite his interest in staying with the German club, Alaba is a sought-after player in Europe, drawing attention from various clubs. Arsenal had reportedly shown interest in him during the summer, though no deal materialized.
Born to a Nigerian father, Alaba began his football journey at SV Aspern in Austria and later joined Austria Vienna at the age of 10. He quickly stood out in youth teams and caught the attention of Bayern Munich recruiters, joining the club’s ranks in the summer of 2008. His development through the ranks, loan spells, and subsequent return to Bayern contributed to his current status as one of the team’s standout players.
