Bayern Munich are stepping up efforts to stop Alphonso Davies from joining Real Madrid

Bayern Munich are keen to extend their contract with left-back Alphonso Davies in an attempt to stop him from joining Real Madrid, a report has claimed.

Davies is approaching the final 12 months of his contract with Bayern and has spent the past few months arguing with the German club, who said his offer of new terms fell short of the Canadian’s needs.

As Madrid recently dominated their connection with Davies, BILD Bayern are now ready to offer the left-back a big salary to try to convince him to sign.

After their talks with Davies’ agent, Bayern are now ready to offer Davies 13 million euros per year, but that still falls short of Davies’ asking price of 20 million euros per year.

New manager Vincent Kompany is urging Bayern officials to agree a deal with Davies but, for now, the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement.

Sky Sports Germany back up claims that Bayern are looking to sign Davies and add more details on plans to replace the Canadian international.

Should they fail to reach an agreement with Davies, Bayern are expected to try to sign AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez, who has long been touted as a front-runner for the position.

Reports of Arsenal’s interest in Oleksandr Zinchenko are said to be widespread as things stand.

Should Davies reject Bayern’s latest offer, club officials are expected to try to sell the 23-year-old, but Madrid are reluctant to pay the club’s record fee for a player who can be acquired on a free transfer in just 12 months.

The European champions have just completed the signing of Kylian Mbappe, whose arrival on a free transfer failed to include a E150m signing bonus, which will be paid in installments and an annual salary of 15 million euros, so they are unlikely to sign. make any other important investments without raising money first.
