Alaba is out of contract next summer and can speak to clubs outside of Germany from January 1 onwards to agree a free transfer.

Report also have it that PSG are also set for talks. It will be noted that the defender failed to extend his contract with the Europe champion last summer, a situation that has led to a rift between him and the Bayern Management.

If the Alaba to Chelsea is succesful, the defender will need to compete with the likes of Zouma in order to make it to Lampard's starting eleven.
