FC Barcelona, as well as other clubs interested in Alphonso Davies, will have to be alert to the Canadian's future, since Bayern would have imposed an ultimatum on the player to clarify his situation as soon as possible
The future of Alphonso Davies at Bayern Munich is looking increasingly uncertain. Why? Because the 24-year-old Canadian full-back, under contract with the Munich team until June 30, 2025, has not yet clarified whether he will renew his bond with the Bavarian club. In the event of no response soon, a couple of scenarios could arise if he decides not to renew: 'Die Roten' may choose to sell him in this winter market to avoid losing him for free, or the situation extends until June and the left-back ends up opting for free agency.
In this regard, the stance of Bayern Munich seems to be quite clear regarding this situation. As reported by the German newspaper 'BILD,' the Munich team has already presented a contract renewal proposal with a substantial economic improvement. It is expected that Alphonso Davies responds to this offer as soon as possible, as apparently the executives do not plan to make any changes to it.
Furthermore, as outlined by the German publication, if Alphonso Davies does not promptly respond to Bayern Munich's offer, the club will urge him to seek a new team, closing the 'file' on his continuity. This would be unfortunate for the Bavarian club, which considers the Canadian a top asset, both economically (they could obtain a good sum for his transfer) and in sporting terms.
Currently, Alphonso Davies has become one of the key pillars in Vincent Kompany's Bayern. Davies has been an undisputed starter at left-back and one of the players with the most minutes played in this 2024-25 season (1,069), under the guidance of the Belgian coach, also contributing three assists.
Barcelona closely monitors Alphonso Davies' situation
At this point, it remains to be seen what Alphonso Davies ultimately decides, as if he chooses to leave for free, a 'bidding war' for the left-back would officially commence. Initially, the theoretical favorite was Real Madrid; however, it cannot be ignored that Barcelona has recently entered the race for the player.
In this part, the main argument, beyond the sporting aspect and the implications of a project like that of Barcelona, emphasizes the potential connection between Alphonso Davies and Hansi Flick due to their time at Bayern Munich. Signing him for free could represent a market opportunity. Of course, this consideration should take into account that the signing bonus required and his salary demands are in line with the economic reality of the Blaugrana team.
