Real Madrid are reportedly in talks with David Alaba's agent over the possibility of signing the Bayern Munich to a pre-contract at the start of 2021.
The Austrian international's current deal at the Allianz Arena is due to expire next June, and a number of clubs have been linked with his services over the last few months.
A recent report claimed that the defender's agent Pini Zahavi had contacted Madrid to determine whether the Spanish champions would be interested in his client.
According to AS, Los Blancos are now in negotiations with Zahavi and are hopeful of coming to an agreement with the 28-year-old over a move to the Bernabeu on a free transfer.
Alaba remains a key figure for Bayern despite the speculation surrounding his future, already making nine appearances for the treble winners during the 2020-21 campaign.
Liverpool and Juventus have also been linked with the versatile defender, but Barcelona are allegedly not in the race for his signature despite the recent speculation.
