On July 1, 2025, several players will be free from any contract. This could be the case for Neymar Jr, Kevin De Bruyne, Cristiano Ronaldo and many other footballers who have not yet resolved their situation. Alphonso Davies (24) is also affected. However, Bayern Munich has been trying to obtain an extension from him for at least two years. But this file is not moving forward. However, things started rather well under the leadership of the former sporting director, Hasan Salihamidžić.
The Alphonso Davies opportunity for Real Madrid
The latter had laid the foundations to extend the Canadian’s lease. But his departure cooled the Davies clan as explained at the time Bild. Since then, the two parties have continued to communicate but we are still more or less at the same stage. Except that time is running out now. In about six months, Davies will be free. What Bayern Munich wanted to avoid, who hoped at best to extend it and at worst sell it in order to recover money. But the Bavarians no longer have control. It is the player who is in a position of strength on this issue.
And he takes the opportunity to listen to the arguments of the clubs ready to welcome him. Some Premier League teams, including Liverpool, are on board. In Spain, Barça is following his case, since he will be free and he knows Hansi Flick well. But the biggest danger for Bayern Munich is Madrid. Indeed, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium are very interested in its services. As indicated by A.S. this morning, the leaders see in him a market opportunity, while they already have Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia on the left.
Bayern Munich worries Casa Blanca
In another article published in its interior pages, the Spanish media takes stock of this issue. So, A.S. explains that Davies has agreed to the terms of his contract with Real Madrid for months. But there cannot be a signature before January 1st. While everything seemed to be going in the right direction, the Spanish publication specifies that the last chance operation was launched by Munich. The Bavarians intend to make great efforts to keep him. This financial point was also the heart of the problem between the Germans and the Davies clan, who demanded a lot of money to stay.
Then the Canadian lowered his demands and demanded €15 million per season. The Munich residents came closer to his demands by offering 12, then 13 and finally 14 million euros. They are no longer very far from what the player demands. A.S. adds that the Bavarians have warned Real Madrid that this story is not yet over and that they intend to give everything until the end. If Casa Blanca displays a certain calm, it nevertheless has a touch of worry. She is waiting for the player to keep his word in order to move forward on January 1 and recruit him free next summer as with Kylian Mbappé in 2024. If Davies does not keep his word, he will not join Madrid, who will miss him only for reasons of ‘money.
