Report: Real Madrid want David Alaba

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a big-money move for Bayern Munich defender David Alaba this summer.

Despite being just 22, the Austrian has already racked up more than 150 senior appearances for Bayern, while his form over the last couple of seasons has made him one of the standout full-backs in European football.

The versatile left-sided player has a contract with Bayern until 2018, but according to AS, Real Madrid have identified Alaba as one of their main targets in the summer transfer window.

Alaba joined Bayern from Austria Vienna in 2008 and was a regular with the German club's second team before making his official debut in 2010.
