Munich (dpa) - Coach Hansi Flick at FC Bayern Munich has already prepared for a club change from defense chief David Alaba in the summer.
Before the Bundesliga away game of the league leaders on Wednesday (8.30 p.m.) at FC Augsburg, Flick commented on the latest reports from Spain.
There the newspaper “Marca” reported an Alaba move to Real Madrid as fixed.
"There are things that are always possible for players to leave when a contract expires," Flick said in a video press conference on Tuesday.
He has not yet heard from the 28-year-old Alaba personally.
«Hope dies last.
But of course I already know that things are currently going in a certain direction that will definitely mean a change for the team, "said the Bayern coach:" We all don't know where we're headed. "
However, personnel changes are often also there to promote something new in the development of a team, noted Flick.
Of course, he expects a replacement for Alaba for the coming season in Munich: “Of course David is a player who is not only very valuable on the pitch for the team, but also in the dressing room.
It is clear that when a player of the quality leaves the club that the club will of course have to and will bring another player, ”said Flick.

The “Marca” reported on Tuesday night that Alaba had already signed a four-year contract with Real and also passed the medical check.
Alaba's father George did not confirm this to the "Bild" newspaper.
Rather, “nothing is fixed yet”.
Bayern withdrew what they saw as a very lucrative contract offer to Alaba at the beginning of November.
Since then, there have been signs of separation at the end of the season.
The transfer-free Alaba has been able to negotiate with clubs and also conclude a contract since the beginning of the year.
