# Liverpool: Fans react as details of David Alaba contract demands revealed

**Many [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fans-react-as-fabrizio-romano-provides-transfer-update/) fans have been reacting to the latest news about Bayern Munich defender David Alaba and his contract demands that have been revealed ahead of a possible move to Anfield.**

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano (via [Anfield Edition](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1348218810407510016)), the 28-year-old wants a deal that equates to an annual salary of £10.8m, which would make him Anfield’s second-highest earner, just behind star man Mohamed Salah, if the Reds agreed to pay him that amount.

The Austrian centre-back has been [heavily linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/david-alaba/) with a move to Merseyside with his contract due to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/david-alaba/profil/spieler/59016) in the summer  and due to the [serious knee injuries](https://talksport.com/football/787753/joe-gomez-knee-injury-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-virgil-van-dijk/) to both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, leaving Liverpool without any established defenders to select.

[Salary Sport](https://salarysport.com/football/player/david-alaba/) believe that Alaba is currently earning £8.5m a year at Bayern, so this move would see him earn a drastic pay rise if he gets the type of money that he is asking for.

Despite this, these supporters were all in favour of Liverpool paying that sort of money for a player who has won nine league titles in a row and two Champions Leagues.

**“Genuinely not that outrageous. He’s worth £40-50m. Therefore those wages are genuinely not that bad whatsoever. Considering he’s on a free.”**
