Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign David Alaba on a free transfer this summer, according to reports.

The Austria international is out of contract at Bayern Munich on June 30.

The Reds made an attempt to sign Alaba, and PSG also spoke to the player’s representatives.

Alaba is expected to earn around £204,000 per week at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

It was confirmed that the 28-year-old’s future lay elsewhere when Bayern broke off contract negotiations in November.

“I’m honestly not happy that we have to deal with this issue this week, when we’re facing two difficult away games to Salzburg and Dortmund,” said Hansi Flick told after talks broke down.

“I would be happy if David stays at Bayern beyond this season. David is a top player and a really great person.

“He embodies certain values, is popular with the club and supporters. 

“I have no doubts that he will continue to perform at peak performance and give everything.”
