Chelsea ‘to hold negotiations’ with exiting Bayern Munich star

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is to start talks with Chelsea in January about a move to Stamford Bridge.

Since making his first-team debut under Louis van Gaal in 2010, Alaba has gone on to make almost 400 appearances for the club in all competitions, and in that time, he has won nine Bundesliga titles, five DFB-Pokals and the Champions League.

However, there is big speculation in the media that he is not happy with the current contract offer that has been placed on the table, and is now considering his options this transfer window.

The Austrian international is out of contract at the end of the season – having rejected a new deal reportedly worth £190,000 a week – and despite being a key player for the European champions, he could be on the move.

Now, according to Bild, the club and Alaba are about to open talks in the January transfer window about a free move to the Premier League at the end of the current season.

Bild also report that PSG are also set for talks, so we will have a battle on their hands if they wish to officially complete this transfer deal.

Alaba is a brilliant player that would suit the Premier League, and although we currently have the impressing Ben Chilwell, it is certainly an area of the pitch that the club will look to improve on.

If the reports are true and we will be opening transfer talks to bring the left-back to the club, then it will be a world class deal that many in the Premier League would be jealous of.

He would also be a statement signing
