Alphonso Davies is the protagonist of the latest 'battle' in the offices between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Canadian ends his contract with Bayern Munich at the end of the season, and in addition to the two big Spanish clubs, several of the continent's biggest clubs had been interested in his situation as they could sign him at zero cost.
The left-back seemed determined to leave the Allianz Arena as a free agent next summer, but this situation has changed in recent days. The player was involved in an off-field problem when he was caught driving under the influence of alcohol with a rate of 0.6 grams per litre of exhaled air, a figure higher than the established limit.
Despite this, the club's coach, Vincent Kompany, decided to turn the page and gave him a starting role in the classic against Borussia Dortmund. A decision that would have impacted Davies' opinion, whose attitude, according to the German media 'Sport1' is one of regret and cooperation with Bayern, since he would have reduced his salary demands and his renewal would be on track.
Bayern want to resolve Davies' future before December
The relationship between the player's agent, Nick Huoseh, and the Munich team would be improving and the player would be getting closer to extending his stay in Bavaria beyond 2025. However, this latest episode with the justice system involving the full-back leaves the directors with certain doubts regarding his future, which is why all options remain on the table.
The truth is that the German club wants to resolve Davies' case before the end of the year, with Barça and Madrid attentive to his situation. In fact, the Barça sports management have already established the first contacts with his entourage and are aware of the player's demands, who would ask for a signing bonus of around 15 million euros and a salary of around 10 million net per season.
At the moment, no decision has been made, and both the Blaugranas and Merengues, as well as teams such as Manchester United, maintain the possibility of signing the player as a free agent, although everything could be resolved in the coming weeks.
