Alaba – who is demanding £400,000 a week – is being chased by Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid but has claimed he doesn’t yet know where he’ll be playing next season.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Alaba said: “I have decided to do something new.
“It wasn’t an easy decision.
“I have not yet made the decision where to go.
“I have personally decided to see something new, to look for a new challenge. That certainly took its time.”
On his future, Alaba continued: “It’s no secret that my agent is negotiating with other clubs.
“I am looking for a new challenge to develop myself as a person on and off the pitch.
“Where can I continue to play football successfully? That will certainly be important in my decision.”
Bayern Munich have already moved to replace Alaba for the 2021-22 season.
The reigning Bundesliga champions announced the signing of sought-after Dayot Upamecano earlier this week.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are believed to be the only teams with any concrete interest in Alaba such are his wage demands.
