Bayern Munich would already be weighing possible signings in case of losing Alphonso Davies, and apparently would have set their sights on Alejandro Balde as an ideal candidate to replace the Canadian
The future of Alphonso Davies promises to be quite eventful heading into next summer. Why? The Canadian left-back's contract with the Munich club expires on June 30, 2025, and the renewal seems to be at a standstill. If he doesn't renew, to prevent him from leaving for free, it seems that the Bavarians would not mind finding him a new destination in the winter market in January.
In this 2024/25 season, Davies has been a key player in Vincent Kompany's starting eleven, playing in eight matches and accumulating 571 minutes on the field. Beyond this, his future has become a true sea of uncertainty, as it's unclear whether he will renew, leave mid-season, or wait until the end of this season to depart on a free transfer. Whatever the scenario of his departure, if it were to happen, it would be a tough blow for Bayern Munich.
Despite having players like Raphaël Guerreiro and Adam Aznou who could cover his position, the Bavarian team seems to be considering finding a 'top' replacement to strengthen that area of the field. This is where the name of one of FC Barcelona's top young talents comes into play: Alejandro Balde.
Bayern Munich Would Explore Options to Sign Alejandro Balde if Alphonso Davies Is Lost
As reported on the website 'Fichajes.net,' Bayern Munich is considering making an offer for Alejandro Balde in case they lose Alphonso Davies, seeing in him a full-back with similar skills, extremely fast, lethal in his offensive runs, and a defensive guarantee. However, it will be crucial to see how convincing the Bavarian team's proposal for the Barcelona left-back needs to be to change Barcelona's stance and let him go.
It's important to remember that Alejandro Balde is one of the emerging talents from Barcelona's academy and has been crucial for the team. In his latest renewal in 2023, his contract was extended until 2028, with a €1000 million release clause, indicating that any interested club would have to negotiate with Barça. Will the Catalans be willing to do so?
