**Many Liverpool fans exploded with delight after the future of Bayern Munich defender David Alaba was revealed.**

According to the Bundesliga giants’ CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (via [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldWatch/status/1341425768203603968)), the 28-year-old’s time at the Allianz Area has come to an end, with the Reds heavily [linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-transfer-david-alaba-injuries-19291755) with a move for the [two-time Champions League winner.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-alaba/erfolge/spieler/59016)

From 404 appearances for Bayern, he has scored 32 times and provided 49 assists in his lengthy spell in Bavaria ([TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-alaba/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/59016)), averaging 1.5 clearances and 1.3 appearances during the current campaign ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/39722/History/David-Alaba)).

Jurgen Klopp’s side have been on the lookout for a defender following a major [injury crisis](https://www.forbes.com/sites/grahamruthven/2020/12/22/liverpools-injury-crisis-actually-helped-get-their-season-going/) they are currently going through, with first-team centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez ruled out for a significant amount of time due to [serious knee injuries](https://talksport.com/football/787753/joe-gomez-knee-injury-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-virgil-van-dijk/).
