Champions League holders Real Madrid are stepping up their efforts to recruit David Alaba from Bayern Munich, Marca has suggested.
With Fabio Coentrao set to leave in the summer, los Blancos aim to sign a left-sided defender and the Austrian full-back is clearly their first choice.
Luring the 22-year-old away from Alianz Arena will be no easy task, but Real Madrid officials believe they can persuade the player to join.
Alaba’s father has reportedly met with los Blancos chiefs few days ago in Vienna, which has added fuel to speculation linking the highly rated defender with a move to Santiago Bernabeu.
It is believed that the Austria star is not too happy at being constantly played in different positions and he may be tempted by the reported interest from Real Madrid.
Alaba has excelled at Alianz Arena ever since he returned from a loan spell at Hoffenheim, having developed into one of team’s most important players.
