FC Bayern and David Alaba have diverged in recent months. Hasan Salihamidzic is clearly finding it difficult to remain optimistic about this. The signs point to separation. The door is not completely closed for Alaba.
In recent days, requests to speak in the David Alaba case have been nearly postponed. Ahead of the Champions League duel with RB Salzburg, sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has now also commented on the precarious situation around Bayern’s head of defense.
“Never say never!”, The Munich manager at SKY exudes a brief optimism, but then adds a realistic classification: “But I don’t know how we can find ourselves yet. The offer was rejected, now we have to deal with it. David will leave us. “.
As a result, Salihamidzic joined the chorus that club president Herbert Hainer had started over the weekend. “We negotiated, we made an offer, which he declined,” Salihamidzic said. Then they met again ten days ago and presented an improved offer to Alaba’s side.

This was done with the addition of a deadline that, as we know, expired on the weekend. Salihamidzic’s statement that Alaba knew that Hainer would publicly report the withdrawal of the contract offer is also spicy.
The door is not yet closed for Alaba. However, there are big doubts as to whether the 28-year-old, who would like to be appreciated with a raise, will suddenly give in and extend his contract.
Praise before leaving: Bavaria is looking for a replacement
The German record champions are already looking for a replacement for the head defense. “Of course we have to plan for the future,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer said when asked.
One of the listed candidates: Dayot Upamecano (22, RB Leipzig). Already in April 2020, there was speculation about a contractual agreement with Bavaria, then the French defender agreed to a contract extension.
