The defender is happy at Allianz Arena but says he understands why players want to move to England
David Alaba says he is in no rush to open contract renewal talks with Bayern Munich and feels the Premier League is "one of the best leagues in the world".
Thomas Muller, Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez all signed new long-term deals with the reigning Bundesliga champions in December and Bayern are believed to be keen on extending Alaba's stay at the club as well.
However, the Austria international claimed he is not thinking about his long-term future and has even suggested he could leave Bayern at some point in the future.
"My contract still runs until 2018," Alaba told AZ. "I was injured for a quite a long time, so I was only thinking about my recovery. Contract talks were never on my mind.
"Could I stay at Bayern my entire career? I'm not the type of person who looks that far ahead. I am setting short-term goals instead. A move to England? I understand why a lot of players are moving there. It's one of the best leagues in the world. But the same goes for the Bundesliga.
"I am not missing anything at Bayern. Everybody who has ever played for Bayern knows how good this club is for its players. We are all grateful to be playing for Bayern. Munich is a great place for me."
