Austrian NBA Legionnaire Jakob Pöltl has earned great respect for the rumored switch of his compatriot David Alaba from Champions League champion Bayern Munich to record Spanish champion Real Madrid. “I’m sure he can have very interesting experiences there. I’m happy for him,” Pöltl said on Tuesday after the Spanish sports daily “Marca” reported an agreement between Alaba and Madrid’s APA.

Pöltl expresses respect for Alaba’s decision
Pöltl earns about $ 8 million (6.63 million euros) a year at the San Antonio Spurs. Because an upper limit is being introduced in Chinese football, which should also affect Marko Arnautovic’s fixed salary at the Shanghai SIPG, only Alaba currently receives a higher base salary from Austrian athletes than professional basketball. At Real, Alaba will receive 11 million euros a year going forward, even if his father denied him a contract on Tuesday.
“Playing for Real Madrid is not something that can be taken for granted. It is traditionally one of the best clubs in the world,” said Pöltl. It was certainly not an easy decision for his fellow Viennese because Munich “was their home for more than ten years.” But the move could have very positive effects on Alaba’s legacy. Pöltl: “He has already shown in Germany that he is world class, and also in the Champions League. If he can later assert himself in another system and in another league, that is of great importance.”
