- Bayern Munich facing battle to keep hold of left-back Davies
- Real Madrid reported to have reignited their chase of Canada international
- Vincent Kompany keen to keep hold of Davies
According to a source, Bayern Munich is willing to boost the monetary value of the contract that they are offering to left-back Alphonso Davies in an effort to prevent him from signing with Real Madrid.
Davies is getting close to the end of his contract with Bayern, and he has been in a standoff with the German club for the last several months. The German club’s offer of new terms did not meet the requirements that the Canadian international player had set out.
According to BILD, Bayern Munich is now willing to pay the left-back a bigger wage in an effort to get him to sign a contract. This comes after Madrid recently rekindled their interest in Davies.
After having their own discussions with Davies’ agency, Bayern is now prepared to offer Davies €13 million yearly; nevertheless, this amount is not sufficient to satisfy the stated asking price of €20 million per year that Davies has set for himself.
The new manager of Bayern, Vincent Kompany, is appealing to the club’s authorities to reach a compromise with Davies; nevertheless, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the matter.
Sky Sports Germany provides further information on the preparations for a possible replacement for the Canadian international player, as well as providing support for the suggestions that Bayern Munich is attempting to get Davies’ signature.
In the event that Bayern are unable to strike a deal with Davies, it is anticipated that they will make an attempt to acquire AC Milan left-back Theo Hernandez, who has been regarded for a considerable amount of time as the most desirable candidate for the position.
As the situation currently stands, it is believed that the reports of interest in Oleksandr Zinchenko, who plays for Arsenal, are not accurate.
In the event that Davies does not accept Bayern’s most recent offer, club officials are anticipated to make an effort to sell the 23-year-old midfielder. However, Madrid is hesitant to pay a premium price for a player who may go free in only one year.
The European champions have just finished the process of signing Kylian Mbappe, who arrived on a free transfer. However, the signing-on bonus of €150 million, which will be paid out in installments, and the annual salary of €15 million are not taken into account. As a result, it is highly unlikely that they will make any additional significant investments without first needing to raise enough money.
