Quite a few sources pointing to Bayern withdrawing their contract extension offer for David Alaba after the player failed to provide a definitive answer before 1 November.
There are many things to say but the first is that, as ever, Bayern will not stand to be toyed with.

We can speculate all we like about figures but it is clear, from public statements from everyone from Hainer to Flick, that the club did all it could to offer Alaba a fair, improved and competitive contract.
All signs point to the player (and especially that greedy Zahavi fellow), having an unrealistic expectation, especially given the current situation.
Indeed, Bayern refuse to compromise their financial security and the rock-solid salary structure. Club over everyone. As it should be.
We have advocated that Bayern pull all the stops to extend Alaba. We called for a no-compromise approach to the offer, given his stature, his being a youth product and the fact that he isn’t even 30. But the club did and still he refused.
