- Madrid target Davies still in talks with Bayern
- Leaning towards staying with Bavarian side
- Spanish giants unwilling to pay asking price
WHAT HAPPENED?
As per Sky in Germany, the contract extension showdown between Bayern and Davies is still ongoing with the Canadian’s contract set to end in the summer of 2025. The Bavarians want the Madrid-linked fullback to sign a new contract this summer so as to not lose him on a free transfer next summer.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bayern have made their position clear to Davies and his camp: sign the contract extension or leave this summer. Real Madrid have been in talks with the full-back and Vincent Kompany’s side have set their asking price of €50 million (£43m/$54m). Los Blancos are yet to table an offer and the report from Sky says the player may be leaning towards signing the extension after having encouraging talks with the Bavarian club.
DID YOU KNOW?
Bayern have reportedly offered Davies a contract until 2029 and wages in the range of €14 million (£12m/$17m) including possible add-ons to sweeten the deal for the Canadian. The 23-year-old left-back and his agent demanded wages of close to €20 million (£43m/$22m).
WHAT NEXT FOR DAVIES?
It has been reported that new boss Komany wants Davies to sign the new deal as soon as possible and has him in his vision for the club’s future as they look to get back to the top of the German football.
