# Liverpool-linked David Alaba favours move to Barcelona or Real Madrid

[David Alaba](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/10/28/liverpool-boosted-as-alaba-rejects-new-contract-at-bayern-munich/) would favour a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid, according to *[Bild](https://www.bild.de/)* journalist Christian Falk on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1323240581645164545?s=20).

The 28-year-old could leave Bayern Munich in January, with contract talks deteriorating at the Allianz Arena. Liverpool have been [linked](https://www.footballinsider247.com/door-opens-for-liverpool-to-sign-alaba-from-bayern/)with a move for Alaba in the next transfer window, although nothing too concrete has appeared yet.

Falk’s update claims that Barcelona or Madrid are the defender’s preferred destinations, although Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Manchester City have also been mooted as other suitors.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

It does appear as though Liverpool are way down the pecking order with regards to Alaba, but he would be a superb signing if they got a deal over the line.

The Austrian is a fantastic footballer who has been at the top level for a decade now, proving to be [one of the world’s best left-backs](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/best-left-backs-world-ranked-alphonso-davies-david-alaba-ben-chilwell-marcelo-alex-sandro-andrew-robertson-jordi-alba) over a sustained period.

Alaba shone at [centre-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-alaba/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/59016/plus/0/saison/2019/wettbewerb/L1/verein/27) for Bayern last season, highlighting his versatility, something which could suit Liverpool down to the ground with their[current defensive injury crisis](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-injury-news-thiago-matip-18850112).

Like Thiago, he is still young enough to spend several years at the top, potentially putting his vast experience and quality to good use.
