It is Alaba’s own fault that he is now a Raffzahn

Gerd Müller was the “coolest kicker”
With Pelé, Maradona and Gerd Müller, some football icons celebrate a great birthday this year. Bayern manager Hansi Flick has many positive memories of the “nation’s bomber”.
FC Bayern withdraws its highly paid offer to David Alaba. The club is sending an important signal with its action. Alaba is the big loser. He and his father shouldn’t hide behind their advisor.
reThe members were excited and applauded. At the annual general meeting, the club’s coach, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, announced that FC Bayern was withdrawing the “very good” contract offer to Michael Ballack. Ballack, the team’s star, moved to Chelsea.
15 years later, the Munich club does the same again. Your offer to David Alaba is no longer valid. The action of the German soccer champions is correct and understandable.
Bayern have negotiated intensively with Alaba three times in recent months. More recently, they improved their offer, offering the defender an annual salary of eleven million euros, according to “Sport Bild”. First they offered a contract term of four years, then even five. With the added bonuses, Bayern had put together a package worth more than 75 million euros.
Praise is still not enough. This is particularly difficult to convey to fans during the Corona period. Bayern were very patient with him and his advisers. Now there are many signs that the 28-year-old, whose contract with Bayern will run until the summer of 2021, is leaving.
Bayern could still make money in winter
In the new year, the Austrian international can leave Munich for free. Bayern could still make money from him next winter.
After a deadline and a final conversation, the decision was made to withdraw the offer, club president Herbert Hainer announced Sunday night on “Blickpunkt Sport” at Bayerischer Rundfunk.
Bayern are sending the signal during the pandemic: we are ready to offer good players a lot of money. But we will not retain them at any cost. Even if the player has been with the club for eleven years and is one of the faces of the club.
Alaba is a crowd favorite. Now what has happened that he and his father George absolutely wanted to prevent: Alaba from appearing as Raffzahn?
He is the loser of this poker. Alaba is an important player for Bayern, but not irreplaceable like Manuel Neuer, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller.
Alaba takes his father’s advice, and some time ago the infamous player agent Pini Zahavi was brought in. The player is grateful, it was said over and over again from the Alaba field. That seems like progress.
Rummenigge had even praised Alaba as “Black Franz Beckenbauer”, the club repeatedly emphasized that Alaba was very important, could shape an era and could also make an important contribution to society.
The advisor is not the main reason
He wants to be one of the top earners on the team, which is exactly what the aforementioned appreciation is all about. In fact, Alaba has become his main defense chief. But he lost time to make a decision. And the club bosses didn’t want to fundamentally change the pay structure for him.
The fact that Zahavi was last assigned the role of the bad boy doesn’t make sense. David Alaba and his family decide for themselves who will advise him. And give the job to the consultant. Hiding behind the agent is bad.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are among the clubs Alaba has joined. Both are teams with many works, Barcelona is very bad economically. To what extent a change in one of the clubs makes sense for Alaba is sportingly questionable.
The Alaba era at Bayern is expected to come to an ugly end. The player is responsible for that.
