JAKARTA - The future of Bayern Munich defender David Alaba at the European champions remains unclear after months of contract talks have not progressed towards a new contract, Bayern coach Hansi Flick said.
The 28-year-old Austrian national team player has been with Bayern since 2008 and has been a mainstay defender for many years. The contract expires in 2021.
A series of contract talks between this player and his club have so far failed to reach an agreement.
Given that Alaba will be on a free transfer next summer, Bayern will have to decide whether to sell him in the winter window because that is their last chance to earn money if there is no new contract.
"I really hope he signs a new deal with Bayern because I think he knows the current situation in Munich," said Flick, who led the Bavarian club to five trophies in 2020, including two domestic trophies and the Champions League, after being this coach for a year. then.
"We have a lot of fun, there is a good atmosphere in this team and we are playing successful football. This is a club that is among the best in the world."
"He will think about this, I'm sure, but we have to respect any decision. I hope he stays with us but ultimately it is his decision."
Alaba's versatility and his speed at reading the game, allowing him to play both a fullback and a center-back as well as operating on the wing have earned him the credentials of starting over the past nine years and becoming a fan favorite.
Alaba has won two Champions League titles with the club in addition to nine league titles and six German Cups.
