Bayern Munich are becoming more and more confident that they can keep up Alphonso Davies in the face of interest from Real Madrid over the last month, despite the fact that he can now sign a pre-contract with Los Blancos. His future has come to a fork in the road.
Last week sources in Germany described a new Bayern contract for Davies as “on the verge” of happening. The Athletic confirm that agent Nedal Huoseh was in Munich for talks last week, and more talks are expected this week.
While optimism in the Spanish capital is fading, they say that if Real Madrid want to secure the signature of Davies, they will have the opportunity to be heard again by Huoseh and Davies before a deal is closed, an opening that applies to any of his other suitors.
Joining them with an improved offer would contradict Real Madrid's strategy so far. After agreeing terms in March 2024, they more or less waited for Davies' contract to expire, having established that they did not want to negotiate a fee. Word from the Spanish capital was that they would not increase their offer, which seemed destined to lead to a new deal at Bayern.
