It is widely speculated that Alphonso Davies is likely to leave Bayern Munich next summer when his contract expires, but his next destination remains unclear. For much of the past year, Real Madrid has been considered the Canadian international’s favored club. However, the reigning Champions League winners have been hesitant to make a move in previous transfer windows, likely due to the fact that his contract runs out in June.
Despite Bayern’s repeated efforts to extend his stay, it seems increasingly likely that Davies will depart unless a significant breakthrough occurs. While Real Madrid has long been viewed as the frontrunner, other clubs are now in the mix.
According to Toni Juanmartí of Diario Sport (via @iMiaSanMia), Barcelona is also keen on signing Davies as a free agent next summer. Reportedly, initial discussions have taken place with positive feedback from Davies’ camp. As with many of Barcelona’s recent pursuits, financial constraints could pose a challenge, but the club remains optimistic about putting together a suitable offer—especially if Davies prioritizes a move to the Catalan giants.
With his contract set to expire next summer, Davies can sign a pre-contract with another club as early as January. This adds urgency for Barcelona, as they look to fend off competition from Real Madrid. For both Spanish rivals, securing Davies in the upcoming transfer window is a high-stakes battle.
