Alaba “not considering” Bayern homecoming

At a press conference held before Austria’s international friendly against Germany, Real Madrid defender David Alaba clarified that he is not considering returning to his previous club, Bayern Munich.

Alaba joined Real Madrid from Bayern Munich in the 2021 summer transfer window, and the team quickly saw Alaba’s success.

The Austrian skipper has played almost 100 games for the Merengues and has already contributed five goals and eight assists.

In the time that he has been at the club, Alaba has won every possible trophy with Real Madrid under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti.

Having achieved great success in Madrid, Alaba was asked if he is onsidering moving back to Bayern Munich, where he spent 13 years of his career and made over 400 appearances.

Alaba responded, “I’m not thinking that far ahead” (via Fabrizio Romano). In Madrid, I’m totally at ease. I have particular aims, and I like Real Madrid. I’m not thinking about anything else.

Alaba’s Real Madrid deal, set to expire in 2026, still has more than two years remaining.

The 31-year-old is a mainstay in the Santiago Bernabeu starting lineup, and his comments indicate that he has no intention of departing anytime soon.

Alaba is assisting the Merengues in pursuing Alphonso Davies, another youngster from Bayern Munich who is a priority target for the team in 2024.

Kim Min-Jae robbed in Bavaria

In July, the South Korean international left Napoli to sign with Bayern. As Kim moved into his new home, BILD claims that a rice cooker was stolen from the outside.

Reports emerged that when Kim carried the rice cooker in another box, he left it outside his house, but when he returned, it was gone. But Kim’s advisor, Dee Hong, purchased a brand-new rice cooker for him in South Korea. 

Kim signed for Bayern Munich, declining the chance to play for Manchester United. He has made 17 appearances for the German club since switching. Kim won the Serie A championship the previous season while playing for Napoli.

Harry Kane, who joined Bayern in the summer, has been lodging in a hotel for £10,000 per night while his family stays in London.

It is said that he will soon move into a home of his own. Since joining Bayern, Kane has scored 21 goals in just 16 games, a fantastic goal-scoring record. 

Transfer rumours

As the January transfer window draws closer, Manchester United defender Varane is reportedly the focus of “internal discussions” at Bayern Munich. SK Sports Florian Plettenberg of Germany claims the Bundesliga champions are turned off by the Frenchman’s £14.9 million ($18.6 million) contract. 

However, fan rumor around trusted ticket reseller Seatsnet is that they still find him an “interesting” prospect and will monitor his circumstances. A loan is not believed to be in the cards, and a transfer price of up to £26.3 million ($32.9 million) is suggested.

Varane joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United in the summer of 2021 and was paraded on the Old Trafford field before the season’s first Premier League matchup against Leeds. 

However, after relocating to England, the four-time Champions League champion with Real Madrid has frequently suffered from injuries. In recent months, he has lost favor with current manager Erik ten Hag. Indeed, since leaving the game against Nottingham Forest in August at halftime due to injury, Varane has only started one Premier League match—the home loss to Crystal Palace. 

This season, Ten Hag has occasionally favored Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire.

Over the past several weeks and months, rumors have been circulating that Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies was about to reject a contract extension from Bayern Munich and move to Real Madrid, where he is considered confident. Now, things may have changed.

With Davies being a fan favorite, ticket resellers such as Seatsnet are closely monitoring the activity surrounding the Canadian and expect there will be a massive shakedown in the summer. 

The news is that Davies is being sought after by Real Madrid. The club hopes to sign him for a reasonable price by taking advantage of his contract, which expires in 2025.

However, things could be more straightforward: the Bundesliga champions will not give the Spanish team an easy ride and have already pressed the button to extend the winger’s contract, as has become traditional over the past several decades. They are aware that there is a genuine risk of losing Davies.

In a scathing transfer update for Real Madrid, the German publication Sport Bild reports that Bayern has restarted talks with the player’s entourage after they broke down the previous year. 

The lightning-fast wide player’s agent, Nedal Huoseh, reportedly met with sporting director Christopher Freund last week and indicated that the club strongly desires to improve the terms of his client’s contract by extending it.

Davies’ desires will determine how the scenario plays out, and as of right now, he won’t tolerate missing the train that would take him to the Santiago Bernabeu. It is important to remember what Huoseh said in an interview with Fabrizio Romano, an appearance at the Allianz Arena that needed to be better received.

He remarked, “There are five major clubs in the world, and Bayern is one of them. I don’t want to let Bayern down.” The spokesman continued, “But Madrid has a great name, a strong brand, with 14 Champions League victories. There’s no denying that the upcoming summer will be pretty hectic.

Mueller, Neuer in extension talks

According to journalist Georg Holzner, Bayern Munich intends to start talks with Neuer and Müller about extending their contracts.

Both players’ contracts are scheduled to end in the summer of 2024. There are rumors that Bayern’s management will speak with the player’s representatives about contract extensions early in the new year.

In June 2011, Neuer signed a five-year contract worth €18 million with Bayern Munich. He also received bonuses totaling €7 million for his outstanding play during his time there. The goalkeeper’s move from Schalke to Bayern was initially viewed negatively by the Munich supporters.

But once the Bundesliga season got underway, Neuer validated the team’s choice by leading a run of games without giving up a goal, going over the 1000-minute threshold, and instantly breaking Oliver Kahn’s prior club record.

Thomas Müller attended the Bayern Munich Academy when he was eleven. Starting in 2007, he played two seasons in the Regionalliga with Bayern II. On August 15, 2008, Müller made his Bundesliga debut for the first team when he replaced Miroslav Klose in the 80th minute of a match against Hamburg.

Harry Kane is aware of Bayern expectations

Harry Kane has already proven his value at home and in the Champions League for Bayern Munich. With four goals and two assists so far, the 30-year-old is leading the Rekordmeister, who have already advanced to the round of 16 after defeating Galatasaray and Manchester United 4-3 on the road in Copenhagen. The former Tottenham Hotspur star is conscious of the expectations placed on him and Bayern when the knockout stages begin in February.

Kane stated, “Of course, that’s a part of being at one of the bigger clubs in the world.” “People are counting on us to win the Champions League, and I’m here to help, I promise. I want to win that as well.

Teams such as Manchester City and Real Madrid and Bayern’s poor roster prevents Ol’ Big Ears from winning the championship for the first time since 2020 when the Bavarians defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the championship game thanks to a headed goal by PSG product Kingsley Coman.

With Bayern showing severe intent in the transfer market and player acquisitions, tickets at Allianz and away have started seriously selling out on Seatsnet. your go-to option for sourcing authentic reseller tickets.
