Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick has responded to reports that David Alaba will join Real Madrid next season on a free transfer.
The versatile Bayern star is in the final six months of his contract with the European champions, and is reportedly set to sign with Los Blancos next season.
There have been reports that Liverpool have also made a late push for the 28-year-old, but Flick has now insisted he has not heard anything about the Austria international signing elsewhere.
"At the moment, I have to admit that I have not heard anything from him regarding this topic. Hope dies last.
"However, I know that things are moving towards a direction which means change for the team.
"David Alaba showed a good performance against Freiburg and it is important for him to stay focused. That is how I experience him, as does the whole team.
"We have to continue. We know things like this are possible in football and that there are always changes at the end of a season.
"Change also has the potential to develop the team. We'll have to wait and see what happens. There's nothing more we can do at the moment."
