The contract poker for Alphonso Davies is entering the hot phase. According to sporting director Max Eberl, Bayern have made the 23-year-old left-back a very attractive offer. According to the latest reports, however, the Canadian appears to have decided against staying with the German record champions.
„At some point in life, you have to say yes or no,“ emphasised Max Eberl this week when asked about the tough contract negotiations with Alphonso Davies. Munich have been working on an extension for almost a year and are now increasing the pressure on the player. FCB would like to reach a decision on Davies as soon as possible.
According to BILD, Bayern are offering the full-back a new five-year contract with a salary of 13 to 14 million euros per season. Too little, from the Canadian international’s point of view. According to reports, he is demanding an impressive 20 million euros per year.
Real Madrid are in no rush for Davies
Meanwhile, reports are doing the rounds in Spain that Davies has already made a decision. AS reports that the 23-year-old wants to leave Bayern in the summer and move to Real Madrid. According to the newspaper, Davies is now waiting for the two clubs to reach an agreement regarding the transfer fee.
Madrid are confident that their good relations with Bayern will help them agree on a „reasonable amount“, as was the case with Toni Kroos‘ transfer in the summer of 2014.
The fact that Davies is only tied to the German record champions until 2025 plays into Real’s hands. The relatively short term of the contract will push down the purchase price. According to reports, the royals‘ financial pain threshold is between 30 and 40 million euros. Bayern, on the other hand, are hoping for 60 to 70 million euros in the event of a sale.
According to information from AS, Real would be prepared to wait a year for Davies if in doubt and only sign him on a free transfer in 2025. Munich would like to avoid this scenario at all costs.
