JAKARTA - Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness made the ears of Real Madrid officials hot. He said David Alaba's dream was to play for Barcelona.

Alaba has signed a five-year contract with Madrid, having previously spent his entire senior career with Bayern.

With the German club, he won 10 Bundesliga trophies, two Champions Leagues, and six German Cups.

In Madrid, Alaba wore the number four shirt that Sergio Ramos left after joining Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Alaba admitted that he did not intend or intend to replace Ramos, who has played for Real Madrid for 16 years.

"We all know Ramos has been here for a long time and wears this number, being the leader of this team", he told a news conference at Madrid's introduction at the end of June.

"However, the reality is yesterday I spoke to the club and they told me that at the moment only number four is available, and I don't want to start asking other players to swap numbers with them.

"I'm honored to wear the number four, it's a source of great pride and motivation for me, and I want to do it fairly.

"However, I am not here to compare myself to other players or replace them: I am here to remain David Alaba", said the 29-year-old.

Now, a surprising statement comes from former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness. A sentence that would make Madridistas demand proof from Alaba.

"He (Alaba) once told me: "my dream is to play for Barcelona one day", Hoeness told Bayern 1.
