Recently there has been increasing speculation that Alphonso Davies could leave FC Bayern next summer and seek a move to Real Madrid. It now becomes clear how the German record champions want to react to the rumors.
Like “Bild” previously, “Sport1” also reported that FC Bayern would like to extend Davies’ contract beyond 2025.
But: The talks with the players started by the fired ex-sports director Hasan Salihamidzic are currently on hold.
In order to end the standstill, the new Munich leadership around CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and sports director Christoph Freund must convince Davies’ busy advisor Nick Househ of further cooperation with a concrete sporting and economic plan, it is said.
Househ had recently publicly criticized FC Bayern several times and at the same time flirted with leaving for Real Madrid.
Will FC Bayern lose its bargaining chip?
According to “Sport1”, the bargaining chip in the negotiations with Davies could be the current technical director Marco Neppe, who, like his mentor Salihamidzic, should maintain a good relationship with Househ.
However, according to “kicker”, Neppe may be in danger of leaving FC Bayern. There is sharp internal criticism of the 37-year-old, who is the last remaining decision-maker from the era of Salihamidzic and former CEO Oliver Kahn, the trade magazine reported in its Monday edition.
The “kicker” also brought up a possible successor for Neppe: Christopher Vivell, most recently technical director at Chelsea FC. Freund worked with him during their time in Salzburg.
In the Davies case, Spanish media had recently reported more and more urgently about possible transfer efforts on the part of Real next summer.
According to “Sport1”, the Royal team’s scouting department has had the 22-year-old Canadian on the list for several years.
