Bayern Munich have withdrawn their offer of a contract extension to David Alaba, says the club's president Herbert Hainer.
Alaba has made almost 400 appearances for Bayern and won 17 major honours since making his debut at the Allianz Arena in 2010.
However, the 28-year-old is out of contract next summer and there are a host of Premier League clubs vying for his signature on a free transfer.
Bayern had hoped Alaba would extend his stay after he helped the club to the treble last season - but any hope of the versatile defender penning a new deal appears to be gone as Hainer confirmed the offer is no longer on the table.
"We presented him with a really, very good, very fair, competitive offer - especially during these times," the Bayern chief said, as per Bavarian outlet BR24 .
"We told David's agent during the last meeting that we wanted clarity and an answer by the end of October because we want to plan for such an important position and player. But we haven't heard anything until Saturday.
"Our sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic then contacted the agent and the answer was that the offer is still unsatisfying and that we should think more.
"We then decided to take the offer off the table completely. That means there is no longer any offer."
The news will come as a boost to Alaba's host of suitors, while further reports from Germany claim the player and his representatives were surprised by Bayern's decision to withdraw their offer.
Sport1 reports the player is continuing to push for improved terms but notes "there are hardened fronts [between Alaba and Bayern] as never before".
Alaba has continued to feature prominently for Bayern this season, making eight appearances across all competitions, but he was dropped to the bench for Saturday's 2-1 victory at Koln.
A natural left-back, the Austria international has often been deployed in central defence by manager Hansi Flick, while he can also play in midfield.

Alaba is world class defended prolific in multiple position at the point of his career when he is at his peak surely deserves an improved contract extension same scheme they tried to use on thiago alcatara pay him is exact wages with four year extension deal Bayern Munich won the all competition they featured it they should be the last staking claims of pandemic loss compared to other clubs
When the club makes high profit margin no one options to increase player salary now there is a pandemic the clubs immediate flight mode are player wage reduction

How demand will cause a big disaster at the club. Right now Barca paying players 20 mill that are not even playing worth 1 mill. Trust the club. If Alaba lives the club he would accept 16 r 17 but he wants 20 mill. is he performing like Lewandowski and Neuer. Who saved us so many times from his poor performance in the finals

far out it astounds me how ridiculously dumb people are on here they have no idea how finances work in football or definitely at Bayern.munich I think.they have proven time again they know what they are doing! its quite simple really ..bcause Neuer gnabry coman kimmich goretzka Müller davies and every one other player will want 20 million + and why shouldn't Lewandowski ask for 30 million with his performances over the last 7 season.aversge 45 goals a season??then the whole wage structure explodes and the exact example of this is what's happening at Barcelona who are in crisis! needing to cut 190 million in wages during this crisis! do you think we should become like barca??? morons!! hence why we are the only club 100% debt free and still in.the top 4 most valuable clubs in world football even with the 50+1 restrictions!! [Crylaugh][Hitface]
Exactly. Alaba knows all that. Alaba is great but his performance hasn't been world class. It has raise eye brows. But if he leaves I would wish him the best. Send him to Chelsea or Juventus not Liverpool or Barca or Man City. If Alaba leaves Upamecano in for sure because Boateng should leave. Javi Martinez to leave. Roca needs to be even more time now.

Am a Bayern Fan Bro. I love Alaba and he is even my name sake. So I have a lot of connection with him I am sure at this period, Bayern would have at lease offered him a worthy contract. Bayern rewards great players and they will never allow any player to hold them to ransom. more so, if Kroos' departure was accepted, then Alaba's case will not cripple the team. If Bayern can increase Davies contract after a year with Improved wages which tripled his initial contract therefore, Bayern are not hard to negotiate with. Zahavi and George are the problem here. But trust me, Bayern will not miss him

Nope bro. He's in his right. players of his caliber have the right to ask much. Go and watch keenly the different footage of Alaba since 2011 and then come we discuss.

what's the issue of him becoming the highest earner?? Don't rely on this young cb and lb We need David Alaba. Those young guys will gain in maturity and experience with him rather than alone. And peradventure I don't see someone in bayern now who can claim to bench him completely

Zahavi and Alaba can not hold Bayern to ransom. He is free to leave for free. Bayern already have a replacement in Super Davies and we will never miss him. He should understand Bayern will never approve of any wages that will cause disintegration in the team.

Liverpool should go for him in January he will give them experience and ball playing defender
why are bayern letting him go to strengthen a ucl rival? when we are short in that area with injuries and the guy that would replace him at CB is covering davies at LB atm ... logically think about that and then logically think about who bayern munich are! 👍lol

What is certain is that a player can't leave a club he loves if he really loves, secondly if he's still considered, thirdly if he's well paid. The order of the reasons given above may differ but it's the same. One of these principles has being broken, which leads to them patting away. Alaba has being a key player in bayern success since 2011. He's polyvalent and versatile. A defender who scores free kicks in a curly way. He owns fans admiration. Anyway David eyes can't forget a beauty he saw and you've made us see the beauty of your game.
