A report from SPORT BILD (h/t AS) has stated that the Canadian international player Alphonso Davies is putting pressure on Bayer Munich by asking for a total salary of €15 million in order to sign a new agreement. This comes as rumors about the possibility of Alphonso Davies moving to Real Madrid are currently gaining momentum.
Due to the fact that the youthful full-back wants to be put among the top ranks of the squad’s pay structure, Bayern Munich is now being compelled to make a significant effort in order to ensure the ongoing services of the 23-year-old player and to fend off interest from Real Madrid.
Bayern are making an effort, and they are making a lot of effort.
It is important to remember that Bayern has been attempting to extend Davies’ contract for a considerable amount of time, since it is set to expire in the year 2025.
Earlier in the year, the Bavarians put out a proposal for an annual amount of twelve million euros; however, the discussions were halted due to the resignation of Hasan Salihamidzic, who was serving as the sports director at the time.
Christoph Freund, who has just taken over as the director of the sports department at Bayern Munich, is now the one who is responsible for negotiating a contract with Davies. On the other hand, the dynamics have changed recently, since he is now looking for a more financially advantageous deal.
Right now, there is no hustle but the player is expected to talk to Bayern in the summer.
Where are Real Madrid in this?
It is anticipated that the summer transfer of 2024 will be a compelling soap opera, as Real Madrid is aiming to strategically acquire a left-back in order to strengthen their team and ensure that they continue to have a strong offensive presence.
The Los Blancos are fully aware of the interest that Davies has exhibited, as shown by the words made by his counsel. The organization is looking forward to entering into discussions with Bayern Munich at the appropriate moment, with the expectation of receiving a reaction similar to the one they received with Kroos in 2014.
The decision was made by Bayern to not extend Kroos’ contract at the time, and with just one year left on his deal, a move was agreed at a price that was seen to be reasonable: €25 million.
With the consent of Carlo Ancelotti, the record European champions are hoping for a situation that is comparable to the one they experienced in the past. Ancelotti has informed the club that Davies is his favorite candidate to strengthen the left-back position in 2024.
