Its not as if Bayern Munich dont have the money. David Alabas agent might argue that wing wizards Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben both pocket £165k on a weekly basis, mightily dwarfing the measly £40k his client brings home each week. Even bench-warmer Claudio Pizarro makes more than twice as much as the Austrian Player of the Year. Its not as if the 22 year old is an unwanted reserve at the Allianz Arena. Last season, the Austrian left-back/midfielder played one game shy of 50 games for Pep Guardiolas side in all competitions - a stat that he might have felt warranted a bumper contract. Perhaps it's time to ask for a raise, Dave.
