Change in poker contract for ÖFB star David Alaba: Champions League winner Bayern Munich has withdrawn its offer to extend the contract that will expire next summer. “There are no more offers,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer said Sunday night on the Bavarian radio’s “Blickpunkt Sport” television program.
Alaba moved to Munich in the summer of 2008. Bayern have been negotiating for months with the 28-year-old Viennese and his adviser Pini Zahavi about a contract extension. In his opinion, the offer from the German soccer champions was “very good, very fair, competitive,” emphasized the Bayern president.
“In fact, a new situation arose over the weekend,” Hainer said. Alaba’s advisor was told they wanted clarity and an answer by the end of October. “We also want to plan security for such an important position and staff,” explained the club boss.
Off the table
After no one knew anything until Saturday, Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic “actively checked again” with the consultant, Hainer said. “And the answer was: That the offer is still unsatisfactory and that we should think more. So we decided to remove the offer from the table entirely. That means there are no longer any offers. “
Bayern coach Hansi Flick had re-announced in recent days to keep his head of defense. More recently, sporting director Salihamidzic had also stated that Alaba did not want to put “an ultimatum” on a decision.
However, Hainer made it known that the successor is now being addressed. “Of course, we also have to plan for the future. I want to say once again that we really appreciate David, he’s a lovable guy, he’s a crowd favorite, he’s FC Bayern Munich’s own generation, and that’s why we would be very sorry if we went our separate ways at the end of the season. I have to do it, ”said the 66-year-old.
