David Alaba wants to 'leave my comfort zone' as he bows out at Bayern Munich after 13 trophy-laden seasons amid reports he is set to sign a five-year deal with Real Madrid

David Alaba has lifted the lid on his decision to walk away from Bayern Munich at the end of the season once his contract expires.

The 28-year-old Austria defender is widely expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer once the season is up but he has also been linked with Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona.

Sky Germany reported in April that Alaba is set to put pen to paper on terms for a five-year contract with Zinedine Zidane's side.
