As such, Alaba had been linked with a move away from the Allianz Arena, with his father claiming Madrid were "really interested" in the defender in May.

However, Alaba has brought a swift end to transfer talk, adamant he will still be in Bavaria next term. "I'll stay at Bayern. I feel very comfortable in Munich, so there's nothing more to say about it," Alaba told Bild .

Alaba has a contract at Bayern until 2021.
