Manchester City are one of the clubs who see David Alaba as a ‘player to follow to complete a luxury squad’, according to AS.
The 28-year-old is out of contract with Bayern Munich at the end of this season and the treble winners have already confirmed they have withdrawn their last renewal offer.
With no progress in talks over a new deal, the defender could leave the Bundesliga giants as a free agent next summer.
AS explains the Austria international, who can operate as a left-back or a centre-back, is ‘getting closer’ to Real Madrid.
Apart from Madrid, the player is of interest to several big European clubs, and that’s when City get a mention.
Alaba, through his agent Pini Zahavi, is demanding a significant signing on bonus and a high salary.
Although AS haven’t mentioned any figures, they make it clear his demands are ‘difficult’ for clubs to reach, especially after finances have been impacted due to the Covid-19 crisis. 
The player’s hefty economic demand is what’s stopping him arriving at Real Madrid, but they don’t ‘lose sight of him’.
