A transfer for Alphonso Davies is ‘still a possibility’ in the summer window

Bayern Munich still knows sell Real Madrid are targeting Alphonso Davies this summer after deciding not to offer the left-back an extended contract.

As it stands, Davies is set to become a free agent next summer when his current contract expires. Talks in recent months have not resulted in an agreement on a new deal, with the players’ camp and Bayern far apart in their negotiating positions.

Hoping to show his status as one of the best defenders in the world, Davies will reportedly ask for up to €20m a season, compared to Bayern’s best offer of €13m. His current names were signed back in 2020, before he won the Champions League.

But Bayern’s respected president Uli Hoeness warned last month that the club would not offer the player any more ‘money’ and would allow his contract to expire if he refused to renew the deal.

That stand appears to be a firm line in the sand that will shape the next phase of this saga. Reporter Maximilian Koch says Bayern have decided not to offer an improved contract, leaving Davies to decide whether he wants to accept it or not.

But rather than allow the 23-year-old to use up his contract and leave without a transfer fee – as previously suggested – a summer sale is “still possible”.

Real Madrid are the club most linked with Davies. But the reigning European champions are already in the market for Kylian Mbappe – with wages and signing bonuses in lieu of transfer fees – and Endrick.

They were previously unwilling to offer Davies a low-ball fee, which was their strategy with Leny Yoro before being beaten by Manchester United, while left-back Ferland Mendy is expected to sign a new contract. his own.

Other clubs have shown an interest in Davies but were skeptical about their chances of securing a deal. 90 min It was reported late last year that Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all had the Canadian on their radar, although he did not want to make a formal approach due to the belief that his heart was set on joining Real Madrid.
