The 28-year-old whose contract will lapse next summer can begin to negotiate with other clubs in January as he is set to quit the German club.
The Bundesliga giants have taken the offer of a new contract off the table ahead of his deal expiring in the summer.
Alaba, 28, can negotiate a pre-agreement with any club in January, setting up a free transfer at the end of his Bayern stay.
It was gathered that experienced agent Pini Zahavi who has helped Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to seal many transfers in the past, is said to help the Blues’ case.
The Austrian is being trailed by other top Premier League clubs including Manchester City and reigning champions Liverpool.
Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are also linked with the player, however the La Liga outfits are not financially equipped to sign him. Reports have suggested Zahavi wants an £18million fee for cutting a deal, leading to a furious response by one former Bayern chief.
Ex-president Uli Hoeness declared: “[Alaba] has a greedy piranha for an agent. His father, whom I like a lot, is letting himself be influenced by him very much.”
Alaba has denied the sort of figures being quoted in talks and continues to be a first-choice pick for coach Hansi Flick.
He stated: “I cannot say how it will continue from this point. I am glad to be playing for Bayern and to be a part of the team.”
