Despite not hitting top form in the 2023 season, Bayern Munich currently sits just 2 points behind the top spot in the Bundesliga. Additionally, the team is leading their Champions League group after securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory in Copenhagen.
Alphonso Davies has had a strong start to the season for Bayern Munich. He was among the standout players in the recent match at the Parken Stadium. At just 22 years old, the Canadian international swiftly rose to become one of the top defenders in world football. Bayern is a premier destination in European football. However, retaining Davies could become challenging when other top teams express interest in acquiring his services.
Earlier this summer, there were reports that Real Madrid identified Alphonso Davies as their priority target for the 2024 summer transfer window. If this materializes, it would mark the second consecutive summer. In which Real Madrid pursued one of the top talents in Germany. Following their signing of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund earlier in the year.
Alphonso Davies joined Bayern Munich from the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018. He currently has a contract that is set to expire in June 2025. When a player of his caliber enters the final year of his contract, it often attracts the attention of other clubs. Thus, hoping to persuade him to embark on a new adventure elsewhere.
Bayern Munich will give their all in retaining Alphonso Davies
As Fabrizio Romano highlights, Bayern Munich has undergone significant changes in the past six months. Before solidifying a new deal for Alphonso Davies, the club needs to provide clarity from the management group. Hasan Salihamidzic, who reportedly had agreed on a contract extension with Davies, was dismissed at the end of the last season. The new sporting director will initiate talks with Davies to reach an agreement. Players often seek stability in their environment, and historically, Bayern Munich has been a very stable club.
The positive news for Bayern Munich is that there are no reports suggesting that Alphonso Davies is unhappy or bored in Germany. Additionally, he has enjoyed a highly successful spell with the club over the last few years.
There may be confidence in warding off interest from the Premier League. However, the involvement of a club like Real Madrid can certainly turn heads. The future of Alphonso Davies remains to check. But Bayern Munich and their fans will hope that he remains with the club for an extended period.
