Alphonso Davies commits future to Bayern Munich

Davies, 24, has made over 210 competitive appearances for Bayern since moving to the Allianz Arena from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019, aged 18. The Canadian's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 season.

“I am very happy to have extended my contract at this great club," Davies said in an official club statement. "I came to FC Bayern when I was 18 and just wanted to learn as much as possible every day to become one of the best in my position. I think that worked out very well. Now I'm looking forward to another five years together. I’ve already achieved a lot here, but there’s more to come.”

Davies has established himself as one of the world's best left-backs in Bayern colours, playing an integral role in the club's historic sextuple of 2019/20 under Hansi Flick. He also won Bundesliga titles with Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel in charge, whilst helping Canada qualify for their first FIFA World Cup in 36 years in 2022.

“Alphonso Davies has become one of the best players in the world in his position at Bayern and has attracted a lot of interest," said Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund. "The fact he wants to continue here with us shows Bayern’s status in international football and that Alphonso has found his sporting home in Munich.”

Davies will be back in competitive action for Bayern on 11 January 2025, when Vincent Kompany's side visit Borussia Mönchengladbach. The Ghanaian refugee camp-born No.19 has made 20 competitive appearances so far in 2024/25 for a Bayern side currently four points clear of defending champions Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga and on track to qualify for the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
