In a major development, Alphonso Davies is set to stay at Bayern Munich, rejecting a potential move to Real Madrid after months of speculation. The Canadian defender, known for his blistering pace and defensive acumen, had been heavily linked with a transfer to the Spanish giants, but Bayern Munich’s sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed that Davies is close to agreeing to a new contract that will keep him at the club for the long term.
Eberl emphasized the patience required during the negotiation process, highlighting that both Davies and Bayern had worked diligently to come to an agreement. “Alphonso is a crucial part of our team’s present and future,” Eberl said in a press conference. “The contract negotiations required patience, but we are now on the verge of a new agreement that will ensure he stays with us for years to come.”
Davies has become an integral player at Bayern since his arrival from Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018, with his performances making him a fan favorite. Despite Real Madrid’s strong interest, Bayern Munich made it clear they had no intention of letting him go, working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure a deal that reflects his importance to the club. The new contract, set to extend his stay beyond 2025, will ensure he remains at Bayern for the foreseeable future.
Eberl’s mention of “patience” in the negotiations was a reminder that such deals take time and require both parties to reach a mutual understanding. Davies himself expressed his satisfaction with the process and his excitement about continuing at Bayern, where he feels a strong connection to the club.
“I’m very happy here at Bayern,” Davies said. “The club has been like a second family to me, and I look forward to achieving more great things with my teammates.”
This decision is a significant win for Bayern Munich, signaling their intent to remain competitive at the highest level of European football and ensuring that one of their brightest talents continues to shine in their colors. With the new contract nearing completion, Bayern fans can rest easy knowing that Alphonso Davies will continue to be a key figure at the club.
