Bayern Munich’s sports director, Max Eberl, has revealed that the club has made their final offer to Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies to extend his contract. With Davies’ current deal set to expire at the end of next season, the club could risk losing the talented 23-year-old player in 2025 if he chooses not to sign an extension.
Interest from Real Madrid
There have been reports of interest from Real Madrid in acquiring Davies, with Spanish media suggesting that a deal may already be in place between the player and the LaLiga giants. However, Eberl has stated that Real Madrid has not made contact with Bayern regarding Davies. Despite Madrid’s apparent interest, they are reportedly hesitant to pay more than €40 million ($43.5m) for the Canadian left-back.
Eberl emphasized the importance of avoiding losing players for free, indicating that Bayern could command a transfer fee if Davies decides to leave the club at the end of the current season. It is understood that while Madrid remains keen on Davies, they may be willing to wait another year to acquire his services on a free transfer.
Sources have indicated that Davies is keen on joining Real Madrid, highlighting his desire to make the move to the Spanish capital. The Canadian international, who has had a successful career at Bayern Munich with 127 Bundesliga appearances and 15 goals for his national team, seems to have set his sights on a new challenge in Spain.
In other news, Bayern Munich has confirmed that captain Manuel Neuer will miss Germany’s upcoming friendlies due to an abductor strain suffered during training with the national team. Additionally, right-back Sacha Boey is set to be sidelined for “the next few weeks” following a hamstring tear, adding to the defensive woes for the Bundesliga champions.
The future of Alphonso Davies at Bayern Munich hangs in the balance as negotiations over a contract extension continue. While interest from Real Madrid complicates the situation, it remains to be seen whether the Canadian left-back will commit his long-term future to the German giants or seek a new challenge abroad. With injury concerns also plaguing the squad, Bayern Munich will need to navigate these obstacles carefully as they look to maintain their position at the top of European football.
