Alphonso Davies is getting closer to renewing with Bayern Munich. The Bavarians have made him a new offer and the agreement is imminent
The saga of Alphonso Davies is getting closer to its end. After months of endless speculation about the next step in the Canadian's career, all signs point to the player opting to continue wearing the Bayern Munich jersey beyond the summer of 2025.
This has been reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who stated that the Bavarian club has made a new offer to the player to convince him to extend his stay at the Allianz Arena and they have succeeded in their goal. The positions between both parties are closer than ever and the final agreement is imminent, making the defender the second highest paid in the squad with a salary close to 25 million euros gross per season.
Barcelona and Madrid would miss out on the option of Davies
If the operation goes well, both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid would be left without their main target to strengthen the left-back position. The Catalan team hoped that the presence of Hansi Flick would tip the scales in their favor, but Davies' position, combined with the good performance shown by Alejandro Balde in recent matches, has left the arrival of the North American to the Catalan city in the background.
More painful is the loss for the Madrid team, whose plans for the left side of the defense relied on signing the Canadian. In fact, a few days ago various rumors suggested that the agreement between the whites and Alphonso was done, but the latest move from Bayern would have left the Madridistas with no options, who now have a real 'headache' in the most fragile position of the team.
