Bayern Munich’s wantaway star defender David Alaba’s enormous wage demands could spell the end of Manchester United’s interest in landing the highly-rated Austrian international’s signing.
Alaba’s intentions of leaving the Bundesliga giants are well known, and with the 28-year-old’s current deal with Hansi Flick’s side expiring next summer, Bayern are understood to be keen on offloading the player in the forthcoming January transfer window.
Despite Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s eagerness to add centre-back reinforcements to the first-team ranks at Old Trafford, Alaba’s signing could turn out to be a costly affair for the Red Devils owing to the defensive stalwart’s salary demands.
The wage being insisted upon by the Bayern Munich defender is considered to be quite excessive by the club’s current standards, according to reports from Manchester Evening News.
With the fringe likes of Marcus Rojo seemingly halfway out of the exit door at Old Trafford, Solskjaer would be focused on bringing one or two quality options at the heart of the backline as Schalke’s Ozan Kabak emerges on United’s radar as a potential option to look at.
