Alaba's contract offer 'fair and competitive', says Bayern Munich president

Bayern Munich President Herbert Hainer has insisted that his club's contract offer to David Alaba is "fair and competitive" as a stand-off with the Austrian continues.

Alaba has entered the final year of his contract at Bayern and negotiations over an extension turned ugly earlier this month when former Bayern president Uli Hoeness accused Alaba's agent Pini Zahavi of being a "greedy piranha."

The comments from Hoeness forced Alaba himself to get involved in the fray, with the defender denying accusations that his financial demands were excessive.

Though he admitted that Hoeness can go too far at times, Hainer has also defended Bayern's former president's words and said that his club's contract offer to Alaba is more than reasonable.
