From Vienna to the German record champions
David Alaba began his career as a footballer at SV Aspern and went to Austria Wien in 2002 at the age of ten. In January 2008 he was on the pitch for the first time in a test match with the professional team of Austria. In April of the same year he sat on the bench for the first time in the Austrian Bundesliga and also made his debut in the second team of Wiener Austria.
In summer 2008 he went to Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of 150,000 euros. There he first played for the U17 and until the summer of 2009 for the U19 team. In the 2009/2010 season, the then 17-year-old was already a member of Bayern’s second team. In October 2009 he came to his first international match for Austria. In March 2010, a few months before his 18th birthday, Alaba played in the Bundesliga and the Champions League for the first time. In the summer of 2010 he became champion and DFB Cup winner and signed his first professional contract .
Intermediate step in Hoffenheim
In the early stages of the 2010/2011 season, Alaba was seriously injured and only made three brief appearances for Bayern until the end of 2010. In order to gain match practice, he was loaned out to TSG Hoffenheim for the second half of the season. The Austrian was a regular there, made 17 Bundesliga appearances and also scored his first two goals as a professional. He actually wanted to stay in Hoffenheim, but was persuaded by Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes to return to Munich. At the beginning of the 2011/2012 season he was still on the bench for a few games, but soon he played his way into the first eleven at Bayern. At the end of 2011 he was voted Austria’s footballer of the year for the first time. He would win this award six more times by 2020.
One of the most successful footballers in Bundesliga history
Alaba and Bayern ended the 2012/2013 season with a treble of championship, DFB Cup and Champions League victory. They also won the UEFA Super Cup in August 2013 and the FIFA Club World Cup in December 2013. By 2021, Alaba was German champion ten times. Together with Thomas Müller , he holds the record for the most championship titles by one player.
Alaba won the DFB Cup a total of six times. In this list, only Bastian Schweinsteiger is ahead of him with seven trophies. Alaba and Bayern Munich ended the 2019/2020 season again with the treble and, after the CL, subsequently won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup again. In February 2021 it was announced that Alaba would not extend his contract with Bayern, which expired in the summer. His subsequent move to Real Madrid will not cost the Spaniards a fee. For this, a bonus of 20 million euros will further increase the Austrian’s fortune.

In 2018, the Austrian bought a luxury penthouse apartment (380 m2) with five underground parking spaces in the posh area of Kirchberg / Kitzbühel in Tyrol for 3.5 million euros.
