Christopher Freund, the sports director of Bayern Munich, is still convinced that Alphonso Davies would reject Real Madrid’s interest in signing a new contract and instead sign a new deal with Bayern Munich.
The future of the Canadian international player at the Bavarian giants is unknown due to the considerable interest shown by Real Madrid, a team that has won the Champions League 14 times. After Davies’ current contract ends in 2025, Real Madrid is expected to become a potential suitor for the player.
The 23-year-old player is reportedly asking for about €20 million each season if he is to stay in Bavaria for an extended period of time, according to recent sources in Germany. This suggests that Bayern and Davies are now at a significant distance from one another in terms of a proposed new salary package.
Bayern Munich is reportedly considering an offer that is somewhere in the range of eleven million to thirteen million euros per season. This would entail paying Davies the equivalent of two hundred and fifty thousand pounds (£213,000) in wages per week on a contract that would last until the year 2029. Bayern Munich is also reportedly confident enough to allow Real Madrid to enter into negotiations, effectively stating that the player’s demands are excessive.
Freund has said that he is not willing to rule out the prospect of Davies extending his time in Munich, and he has also stated that extending his career in Munich is a strong possibility. These statements were conveyed by the German journal Bild.
It’s not improbable at all,” she said. Freund said that there are talks taking place, and that these interactions are positive and transparent. “And then, in the next several weeks, we will see how things turn out. At this point, Phonzy is feeling extremely at ease in Munich. It’s a pleasure for him to play for FC Bayern.
Nedal Huoseh, who is the adviser of Davies, recently said that the player’s primary concentration is still on Bayern, who are in a precarious position of losing the Bundesliga championship to Bayer Leverkusen, and that “nothing has been agreed” with any other club about the player’s transfer.
It is said that Bayern would be prepared to part ways with Davies for a cost of about sixty million euros if they were willing to sell this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer. This would be a considerable profit in comparison to what they paid Vancouver Whitecaps in a transaction that was then the record for the Major League Soccer in 2019. These statistics are in contrast to rumors that were published in Spanish media, which said that Madrid would only be ready to pay forty million euros for Davies.
It was disclosed by 90min back in November that Davies is eager to prolong his stay at Bayern, but only if the club is willing to offer him a salary that is commensurate with his stature in the game. There have also been rumors that Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the player; however, it seems doubtful that any of these clubs would make a bid at this point in time.
