FCB President Hainer said that Alaba kissed the coat of arms in his first appearance in the Real jersey. This surprised him.
Herbert Hainer, President of FC Bayern Munich, was amazed that ex-Bayern professional David Alaba kissed the coat of arms of his new employer when he was presented in Madrid.
at Picture Live said the 67-year-old: “I was also a bit surprised by the action after being with us and part of FC Bayern Munich for so long. But that’s life.”
In view of the twelve years that Alaba was under contract with the German record champions, Hainer’s words can be understood as a minor swipe.

Consequently, the FCB president did not accept that advisor Pini Zahavi was solely to blame for Alaba’s high salary demands. Those demands had led to the failure of the contract negotiations with FC Bayern. Hainer said: “You can’t always blame it on the advisors, because in the end the player has employed the adviser and signed him up. In this respect, the adviser won’t do anything that the player doesn’t want, but the other way around.”
The negotiations between FCB and Alaba were hotly debated in public. Among other things, ex-Bayern President Uli Hoeneß described advisor Zahavi as a “greedy piranha”.
