The Austria international, who joined the club on a five-year deal, has said that he does not have the intention of replacing former captain Sergio Ramos, according to

"We all know Ramos was here for a long time and wore this number, becoming the leader of this team," Alaba said.
"But the truth is that yesterday I spoke to the club and they told me that right now it's the only available squad number. I didn't want to start asking other players if they wanted to swap.
"I'm honored to wear the number four, it's a source of great pride and motivation for me and I want to do it justice.
"But I'm not here to compare myself to other players or replace them, I'm here to be David Alaba."
Ramos is Spain’s most-capped player and during his time at Real Madrid, he has been able to win five La Liga titles and four Champions League.
