Real Madrid increase offer for Alaba

Spanish daily newspaper AS has learned that Real Madrid have submitted a fresh proposal for Bayern Munich hotshot David Alaba.

Los Blancos seem determined to lure the Austrian defender to Santiago Bernabeu this summer and they recently had a €50 million proposal rejected for the highly rated footballer.

According to AS, Real Madrid have now submitted a new offer worth €65 million and they are awaiting response from Munich.

The Bavarians are believed to be holding out for €80 million, while the player himself is reportedly tempted by the possibility of joining los Blancos.

Real Madrid officials have held several meetings with the player’s representatives and they hope they will be able to wrap up the deal before the end of the summer transfer window.

The versatile footballer has so far made a total of 135 Bundesliga appearances for the Bavarians, lifting five league trophies in the process, while also winning the 2012/2013 Champions League.
