Liverpool and Barcelona have not given up hope of signing Bayern Munich and Austria defender David Alaba, despite Real Madrid being close to a deal. Everyone seems to want Alaba and the question is what does he want? 
Madrid may be close to sealing off Alaba's deal but Liverpool and Barcelona were interested long before Madrid picked interest. I guess it's not always over until it's over. However, David Alaba prefers to be signed by Real Madrid. Says it's his "dream" to play for the Los Blancos side.
This guys career is in the garbage can. He had the chance to go to a team that nurtures young players & gives them a chance but instead he decided to join Real Madrid. How many youth players make it big at Real, the answer is very few. (...)
Every young player's dream is to play for a big team at some point in their career. That's why majority of young players don't hesitate to sign a contract whenever a big team comes knocking on their door. It's a similar case with Odegaard. It's hard to get first team football at Real Madrid especially when you have the likes of Modric and Kroos. Even Isco suffers from lack of first team football.
