Bayern Munich director of football Christoph Freund told reporters earlier this week that he is not losing hope of convincing Alphonso Davies to sign a new contract with the club.
It seems that the first discussions went well and that the Canadian’s agent is expected to meet again with the Bavarian club in the coming weeks. After Bayern Munich played Olympiakos in the UEFA Youth League, Freund told Sky DE, via Diario AS, that he still hoped to reach a deal with Davies.
“It’s not at all improbable. There are ongoing conversations and they are progressing in a positive and open manner. We will see in the coming weeks how they evolve”.
Positive discussions
Davies has been a long-time target of Real Madrid, with Los Blancos identifying his expiring contract last year as a potential opportunity for the future. They want to sign him this summer at a reduced price, or in 2025 for free. Davies’ agent is reportedly demanding €20 million per year to stay in Germany, while Bayern’s latest offer is said to be between €11 million and €13 million per season.
Los Blancos are unlikely to offer that much for Davies, but in recent months they have been increasingly confident not only that he will sign with them, but also that he will come this summer.
