Bayern Munich’s contract progress with star left-back Alphonso Davies has apparently hit a snag.
The Canadian sensation is one of a number of key Bayern players with contracts expiring at the end of 2024/25. While the club continues to work on Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané, and Manuel Neuer, Davies talks are reportedly on hold — and it is down to a question of what the market will pay.
From Sport Bild chief reporter Christian Falk, as captured via @iMiaSanMia:
Alphonso Davies is still dreaming of Real Madrid. Bayern have taken a break on contract talks. They don’t want to engage in discussions with his agent, Nick Huoseh, any more, as they think the salary demands are too high. They don’t want to pay him over €20m a year. If Manchester United are willing to pay that, they would be a big competitor for Real Madrid – and Davies and his camp would sit at the table [@cfbayern via @caughtoffside]
Now, €20m is no chump change, especially for a defender — but it is not too hard to imagine the likes of Madrid splashing around that cash. Will Davies end up leaving Bavaria on a free? Is Manchester United a real possibility???
