Although the ultimatum for a possible contract extension for Alphonso Davies has expired, the poker for the Canadian does not seem to be over yet. Nevertheless, FCB’s negotiating tactics should be seen as a warning.
Although Alphonso Davies‘ side let the deadline set by FC Bayern to extend his contract pass, according to Sport BILD, an agreement is still not out of the question.
Should the Canadian be inclined to stay in Munich after all, he would have to accept the current offer and then Bayern would decide whether the contract offer is still valid.
In addition to Davies, there are other players whose contracts expire in 2025, such as Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sané, with whom negotiations are also imminent. According to the report, Bayern’s announcement should also be a warning to them.
This probably means that there will be clear limits and less room for negotiation when it comes to salaries in future. The club is sticking to its final offer and is prepared to draw a line in the sand or set ultimatums. If no agreement is reached, the sale of any of the players is not ruled out.
This is why Davies does not yet want to extend his contract with FC Bayern
FC Bayern recently made Davies a final offer of between twelve and 13 million euros per year. In order to ensure a certain degree of planning security, the Canadian left-back has been given until around Easter. Davies‘ advisor, Nick Huoseh, told BILD: „It’s a very important contract in Alphonso’s career and we have to make the decision – without knowing who the coach will be next season or what the team will look like. That’s why we think it’s unfair to react to the ultimatum and will decide at the end of the season how to proceed when there is more clarity.“
For the management at Säbener Straße, this means: wait and see. Munich have still not received an official offer from interested parties Real Madrid. According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Bayern are demanding a transfer fee of 50 million euros for Alphonso Davies. However, according to the report, Real Madrid are only prepared to pay a maximum of 30 million euros.
