So far in the 2023/24 season, Alphonso Davies from FC Bayern is looking for the form that has made him one of the most sought-after left-backs in football. This circumstance, garnished with stagnant contract negotiations and an allegedly astronomical salary demand from the Canadian, increasingly suggests that a change in the summer of 2024 is no longer a taboo topic in Munich. Especially since there seems to be no shortage of buyers.
For months, Real Madrid has been rumored to be flirting with Alphonso Davies from FC Bayern. President Florentino Pérez personally, it is said again and again in the Spanish media, should campaign for the 23-year-old to be signed. However, the Royals are said to have set a clear pain threshold and are under no circumstances prepared to put more than 50 million euros on the table for the winger.
Good for FC Bayern: At another club, which is now also said to have its eye on Davies, the money is much looser.
Manchester City is said to be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Davies and is considering offering FC Bayern up to 70 million euros for the defensive star. This is what “El Nacional” reports. A sum that would definitely give you pause on Säbener Strasse.
FC Bayern not happy with Davies
Especially since Davies is said to be demanding a whopping 13 million euros per year for an extension of his working paper beyond the summer of 2025. An amount that people in Munich are obviously hesitant about, but which, according to the report, Manchester is willing to pay.
The media has been speculating for weeks that saying goodbye to Munich is a very realistic scenario. The “kicker” recently reported that FC Bayern had informed the national player’s management before Christmas that they were not satisfied with the stagnating development.
The next lesson came on Wednesday evening when coach Thomas Tuchel left his protégé to languish on the bench for 90 minutes against Union Berlin.
