David Alaba still expected to sign for Real Madrid despite late interest from Chelsea and Liverpool

According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is expected to sign a pre-contract with Real Madrid despite the interest from Chelsea and Liverpool.

The 28-year-old has spent his entire career with the Bavarian giants where he has made more than 400 appearances in all competitions. Contract talks with the club broke down earlier this term and he looks set to leave the club when his deal expires in June.

Earlier last month, Romano said that a verbal agreement had been in place between Alaba and Los Blancos over a free transfer this summer.
