Reliable journalsit Fabrizio Romano has reported that David Alaba will sign pre-contract terms with Real Madrid ahead of a move in the summer.
The Austrian is out of contract with German giants Bayern Munich in the summer, and it was almost certain he would leave the Bavarian side.
Interest in Alaba was thought to be high with Spanish side Real Madrid always the most likely to sign him, but it had been reported that Liverpool were taking an interest in him as well.
With Bayern Munich seemingly resigned to the fate of losing Alaba the defender had become a top transfer target for a handful of European teams, with Real Madrid now appearing to have won the race for his signature.
