FC Barcelona are seen as a tough candidate in the bid for Alphonso Davies. The Canadian is out of contract with Bayern Munich at the end of the season, and despite the Bavarians' efforts to retain him, everything points to the player leaving the Allianz Arena as a free agent. A scenario that the biggest clubs on the continent want to take advantage of, with the Catalans being one of them.
As of today, Real Madrid seem to be leading the 'race' for the left-back. The Merengues have been working on the signing of the player for months and would have the agreement with the footballer on track. However, the newspaper 'BILD' assures that Can Barça are beginning to seriously dream about the defender and Hansi Flick would be the great 'trump card' for the Blaugranas to tip the balance in favour of the Catalans.
Flick would have asked Laporta to sign Davies
And the German would be Davies' great supporter at the Spotify Camp Nou. The coach considers the American to be an important piece to shore up the team's defence and has made this known to the board, headed by Joan Laporta.
Flick and Alphonso have an excellent relationship from their time together in the Munich dressing room, and this was evident in the Champions League match between Barça and Bayern, where the Barça coach did not miss the opportunity to greet his former pupil.
At the moment, Madrid has a clear advantage in the face of a transfer operation at the end of the current campaign, while Manchester United wants to 'knock down the door' from behind. However, the 'Flick factor', added to the team's spectacular present, could end up creating what would be one of the great 'bombshells' of the next transfer market.
