Alphonso Davies’ future has been a much-talked-about topic in recent weeks as Real Madrid pursue the left-back while Bayern Munich fight to convince him to sign a new contract.
The 23-year-old left-back, whose current market value stands at €70 million, is one of the top targets for Los Blancos heading into the summer.
With his contract expiring in 2025, Bayern Munich are trying to persuade him to pen an extension and stay put at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich set deadlines
Now, MARCA reports that Bayern Munich do not want the Davies’ situation to drag along for long and have set a deadline for the matter to reach a conclusion, one way or another.
Davies has until the beginning of April to say yes to the renewal offer that the German champions have tabled or to bring an offer from outside that could mean that Bayern sit down to negotiate, in this case with Real Madrid.
In order to make the Canadian left-back aware of Los Blancos’ interest in signing him, the club has been laying the foundation for the operation for nearly a year already.
The Bayern Munich club is aware of everything that is taking on in relation to Davies, and they are looking for a speedy resolution to the situation immediately. It is not in their best interest to lose the player, but if they are unable to find another option, they will sell him.
Begin negotiations at a price of fifty million euros
According to the source, Bayern Munich has made it very plain that they would not sell Davies for a low price, regardless of the contractual circumstances he is now in.
As a result, a sum of fifty million euros will serve as the starting point for discussions, and the goal is to reach a conclusion on everything by the end of the season.
The working relationship between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid is positive, and given that Davies is adamant about making the move, the two clubs are now required to sit down and discuss in order to come to an agreement.
