Barcelona plot bid for Alphonso Davies as Hansi Flick wants reunion with Bayern full-back - but Real Madrid and Man Utd remain interested in Canada star

<p>After a period of inconsistent form, Davies has once again showcased his abilities as one of the premier full-backs in the game. Under Kompany’s leadership, he has returned to the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alphonso-davies-hails-vincent-kompany-impact-bayern-munich/bltdbcb0a387e1c2b16" target="_blank">electrifying displays that earned him acclaim</a> early in his career. However, as contract discussions with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alphonso-davies-man-utd-bid-sign-full-back-bayern-munich-real-madrid-lead-race/bltc93959e6dfb7b4fe" target="_blank">Bayern continue to stall,</a> it appears unlikely that the German club will meet Davies’ demands. The Canadian has requested a €20 million (£16m/$21m) annual salary and a signing bonus of €15m (£12m/$16m), a figure Bayern are reportedly reluctant to meet, which will likely see the defender depart on a free transfer next summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to<em> </em><a href="https://x.com/cfbayern/status/1855159020362875041" target="_blank"><em>BILD </em>reporter Christian Falk</a>, Real Madrid remain the frontrunner in the race but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-upset-real-madrid-man-utd-bayern-alphonso-davies-lead-race-jonathan-tah/blteb6135e6a9c2d030" target="_blank">Barcelona are equally determined</a> to sign Davies. The Blaugrana’s pursuit has been rekindled with the arrival of Hansi Flick, who coached Davies during Bayern’s 2020 Champions League triumph.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite Barcelona’s recent financial challenges, the potential to sign Davies on a free transfer presents an attractive opportunity. Blaugrana officials are reportedly optimistic that the club can afford the high demands Davies is likely to set, and discussions with his camp have reportedly already begun earlier this year, as previously revealed by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDzh6MwV2Pc">Fabrizio Romano<em>.</em></a></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>If Bayern remain steadfast in their refusal to meet Davies’ demands, the likelihood of his departure will only intensify. Whether <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-alphonso-davies-bayern-munich-canada-kylian-mbappe/blte997d611a1ded9aa" target="_blank">he heads to Real Madrid</a>, reunites with Flick at Barcelona, or joins Manchester United, his next move will be among the most closely watched in the next summer transfer window.</p>
