The future of Alphonso Davies has turned into a high-stakes game, with both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid vying for the Canadian star’s signature.
The defender’s contract is set to expire on 30 June this year, making him one of the most sought-after players on the transfer market.
Recent reports suggest that Davies has now decided to sign a new contract with Bayern and stay put at the Allianz Arena beyond this season.
In fact, some outlets from Germany have even claimed that the left-back has reached a preliminary agreement on a contract renewal with the Bavarians.
However, as per MARCA, there is no agreement as of yet and nothing has been officially signed between Davies and Bayern Munich.
Insiders close to Bayern Munich report that the club has presented a renewal offer worth €25 million annually.
This would make Davies the second-highest-paid player in the squad, behind only Harry Kane. The offer has raised eyebrows but underscores the Bavarian club’s determination to retain the full-back, whose departure would be a significant blow both on and off the pitch.

The Bundesliga giants are pulling out all the stops to keep one of their key players, making what some describe as a desperate push to avoid losing him.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are quietly waiting in the wings. Davies’ agent has already visited the Spanish capital, holding discussions with lawyers and contract specialists.
While Real Madrid’s financial proposal is less lucrative than Bayern’s, the Spanish champions are not engaging in a bidding war.
Their strategy mirrors successful approaches used in the past with players like Jude Bellingham and Aurélien Tchouameni, where the focus was on the project rather than the payout.
The ball is now firmly in Davies’ court. He has held out to the limit, as requested by Real Madrid, but Bayern’s persistence and attractive offer have complicated matters. A decision from the left-back might not be far away at this point.
