Kahn: Alaba’s agent is disconnected from reality
Bayern Munich's director believes the Austrian’s representatives have given him an unreal vision of his future.
David Alaba
confirmed last month that he will leave Allianz Arena at the end of the current season. The Austrian defender’s contract at
Bayernwill expire in the summer and he will not renew his deal with the Bavarians.
Oliver Kahn
claims negotiations for extending Alaba’s contract have been hampered by the player’s agent
Pini Zahavi
.
"In a certain way, I am actually disaffected because I notice a disconnection from reality, which is breathtaking,"
Kahn told
Kicker.
The Bayern chief added:
"We appreciate David Alaba very much, he is an extraordinary person, always friendly and open. Although we tried everything to keep him, no agreement was reached."
Asked about whether the German giants are interested in extending the contracts of experienced players like
Manuel Neuerand
Robert Lewandowski, Kahn responded:
"Why shouldn't we remember to extend with one or the other again if they play like they are at the moment?"
Alaba has been linked with a host of top clubs in recent weeks. However, Spain has been mooted as the most likely next destination for the Austrian as both
Real Madrid
and
Barcelona
are interested in signing him.
