A surprising development is on the horizon at FC Bayern: Alphonso Davies‘ future is more open than ever – and Munich are apparently already preparing for a possible scenario without the Canadian
What seemed unthinkable for a long time is now a realistic thought process. Internally, Davies is no longer considered unsellable. Although those responsible are not actively pushing for a departure, they would be willing to talk if a suitable offer came along
The decisive factor for the rethink is the 25-year-old’s physical situation. Davies is still struggling with the consequences of his cruciate ligament rupture in March 2025
Since his comeback in December, he has been set back several times by minor muscle injuries and is currently working on his return after a thigh strain
This development is causing growing doubts at Säbener Straße, as BILD recently revealed. Physical stability is essential, especially for a player whose style of play relies heavily on pace and explosiveness
Bayern is watching the market
According to the Abendzeitung München newspaper, the club have already started to look for alternatives and are now specifically scouting the market for new full-backs – and not just on the right
This development is particularly noteworthy as the club is nominally well-staffed with Davies, Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic, but internally they seem to be thinking more long-term
Stanisic, in particular, is planned flexibly and could be used more in the center or on the right in the future, which would create a gap on the left in the event of Davies‘ departure
England clubs show strong interest
At the same time, interest from the Premier League continues to gather pace, with several top clubs said to be monitoring the situation closely and could become concrete in the summer
The combination of sporting class and international renown continues to make Davies an extremely attractive transfer target
With his contract running until 2030, Bayern are in a comfortable starting position. Financially, a transfer would only be an issue if the transfer fee were high enough. Nevertheless, current developments clearly show that the valuation of Davies has changed
It remains to be seen whether a transfer will actually take place, but it is clear that those responsible are playing through all scenarios.
