​David Alaba holding out on Real Madrid due to Man Utd, Chelsea interest

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is yet to sign a pre-contract with Real Madrid.

The Austrian was reported to have agreed a deal with Real by several European sources.

However, Sport Bild - via theExpress - claims Alaba is stalling as he is waiting to see what interest emerges from the Premier League.

Chelsea and Manchester United may wish to sign him in the summer on a free transfer as well.

The 28-year-old is leaving Bayern after rejecting several contract offers, as he is holding out for a much higher salary.

Barcelona may also be involved in the race to sign Alaba, depending on how their presidential elections in March pan out.
