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.
@nelson4lov this transfer will depend if Zidane is yet managing Real Madrid because currently he’s struggling, and if he gets the sack then this transfer may suddenly collapse. Also what do you’ll think should Manchester United do i.e. let Pogba slip away after his recent performances, or they should cash him in the summer transfer window.
