This means that the Bayern Munich defender is more likely to join Real Madrid this summer.
Chelsea are unwilling to meet David Alaba’s demands as they are concerned that this will break the club’s wage structure, according to ESPN.
The Austrian is expected to become a free agent this summer and aims to command a sizeable package from any new club.
However, his reported demands of £400,000-a-week prove to be excessive for the Blues, especially as their current biggest earner, N’Golo Kante, receives around £300,000 per week.
Real Madrid are understood to be closest to signing the Bayern Munich defender which would leave Chelsea to look for other options.
They are naturally inclined to target another Bundesliga player, with Dayot Upamecano and Niklas Sule reportedly on the watchlist.
