Alphonso Davies' time at Bayern Munich could be coming to an end. The Bavarians, although determined not to lose their star full-back, risk losing the Canada international for free in 2025 when his contract expires. And on Monday, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/real-madrid-strike-early-alphonso-davies-blancos-reach-agreement-future-transfer-bayern-munich-canada-star/blt2b03193124def3aa" target="_blank">it was reported that Davies had verbally agreed to join Madrid</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The newly-minted Bayern sporting director <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1762432356705554665?s=20" target="_blank">outlined the Davies situation</a> in his introductory press conference: "No club wants to lose players for free… of course. We already had discussions with his agent, so I will now try to continue the conversation. I have to see how the situation is."

WHAT EBERL SAID ABOUT DAVIES

Eberl also explained the criteria for the Bavarians' soon-to-be-vacant managerial post: "We want a coach who fits with the club and its ambitions – who also fits with the ideas that Christoph and I have about the squad. Players like Tel and Musiala, are young players who need to play. Other big clubs like Real Madrid managed to integrate Camavinga and Tchouameni into a midfield with Kroos, Modric and Casemiro. That’s the sort of coach we need. We need a coach who wants to work with these kinds of players. Language? He has to speak a language that we all speak, German or English. It’s a criterion but not an excluding one. There are candidates."

WHAT EBERL SAID ABOUT REPLACING THOMAS TUCHEL

Eberl arrives at a turbulent time. Tuchel is set to leave at the end of the campaign after falling behind a surging Bayer Leverkusen side in the title race. Meanwhile, the futures of cornerstones Davies and Joshua Kimmich seem to be up in the air.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The left-back seems set to leave Bayern - either this summer or next. Until then, though, he figures to be a part of Tuchel's setup. He is currently recovering from an MCL strain sustained in early February against Borussia Monchengladbach.
