David Alaba to Liverpool transfer played down

Liverpool will not be signing Bayern Munich defender David Alaba according to reports

The Independent claims the Reds held talks with the Austrian's representatives last year over a potential move but have since then decided against making a move.

According to the publication, Liverpool were involved in a conversation with Alaba's representatives when they were waiting patiently to sign Thiago Alcantara from the same club.

However, the Reds cooled down their interest after completing the signing of Olympiakos defender Kostas Tsimikas and have since then not bothered about signing the Austrian international as they withal consider his physical height and wages a stumbling block.
