According to a report from Mundo Deportivo (as captured by Get Spanish Football News Now), the agent for Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has released the financial figures that it will take to sign his client to a contract.
If true, one big suitor could be out of the running — FC Barcelona:
The powers that be at La Liga giants Barcelona have been made aware of the financial demands laid out by Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies for next summer.
And the figures involved only serve to provide further context to the hesitance of Deco and co. to move forward with an official proposal for the Canadian.
As per a report from Mundo Deportivo: ‘Davies’ agent demands a signing bonus of close to €30 million and a salary of more than €12 million from anyone who wants to sign him.’
Amid their ongoing financial difficulties, such figures are likely out of reach for Barcelona at this moment in time.
It is unclear if Bayern Munich would also have to pay that much of a signing bonus, but that would be a way of keeping Davies’ salary at a reasonable number (if you really want to twist the numbers).
