Three-way tussle! Where will Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies end up next season?

Alphonso Davies' choice appears to be between staying at Bayern or moving to one of LaLiga's two biggest clubs.

Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies now looks closer to extending his contract with the Bundesliga giants, but the Canadian remains a top target for Real Madrid – and has also been linked with a move to Barcelona.

Davies is out of contract with Bayern next summer and the 33-time German champions' attempts to tie the 24-year-old to a new contract have so far proven fruitless. From January 1, the left-back would be free to negotiate a free transfer to another club at the end of the season, with LaLiga becoming his most likely destination if he were to leave Bavaria.

Bayern, Barça or Madrid? The choice for Davies

Reports in Germany claim Bayern are now better placed to finally agree an extension with Davies, but Catalan newspaper Sport say Barca have reactivated their interest in the defender. German media outlet Sport1 adds that Davies has lowered his salary demands – a turn of events that not only appears to have brought him closer to a deal with Bayern, but could also put him back within financial reach of cash-strapped Barca.

How much money does Davies want?

It is not known what size salary Davies is now looking for. What seems clear is that no club is willing to pay the €15 million signing fee and €10 million after-tax salary that Davies was initially seeking.

As things stand, Barça have taken their interest in Davies no further than sounding out the player camp over a possible free transfer in the summer of 2025. Meanwhile, Bayern are looking to end his contract saga before the mid-season winter break, on While Madrid maintain their long-standing bid to lure the player to Spain as a free agent next year.

Davies, who has also attracted interest elsewhere during his lengthy contract impasse – most notably from Premier League club Manchester United – is expected to make a decision in the near future.

Davies signed for MLS club Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018 and made 214 appearances in all competitions for Bayern, scoring 11 goals and providing 34 assists. The left back is a five-time Bundesliga champion and 2020 Champions League winner and has also won 56 caps for Canada.
