Austrian Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is set to sign a five-year contract with Real Madrid, Sky channel said on Tuesday night.

The 28-year-old all-rounder, who can play full-back, center or midfielder, had arrived at Bayern at the age of 16 after playing for Austria's Vienna youth squads.

He is at the end of his contract with Bayern and Real will not have a transfer fee to pay.
