Sources: Chelsea do have an interest in signing David Alaba
We can confirm Chelsea's interest in the Bayern Munich left back to be legitimate
There have so far been mixed reports whether Chelsea are interested in signing David Alaba if he becomes a free agent this summer.
German publication BILD reported Chelsea’s interest first last week, but Sky Germany ruled this out and said he wasn’t interested in Chelsea, and neither are Chelsea interested in him.
SPTC sources understand that Chelsea ARE interested in signing Alaba, but there is nothing advanced at the moment and there have yet to be any talks taken place.
Our writer Dan McCarthy believes the transfer is unlikely, but certainly far from impossible.
The Byline’s Alex Goldberg also confirmed Chelsea’s big interest in Alaba and dismisses the Sky Germany report altogether.
Alex has good connections inside the club, and he spoke about Chelsea’s potential Alaba pursuit on our latest Podcast HERE.
He is stalling on a new deal with Bayern Munich, so of course he could still end up renewing with them, but Chelsea would be major contenders if he really does decide to leave Bayern when his contracts ends this summer.
