Bayern Munich is reportedly on the verge of securing a new contract with their star left-back Alphonso Davies, potentially ending speculation about his future amid interest from Real Madrid and Premier League clubs.
The 24-year-old Canadian international, whose current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, has been in negotiations with the Bundesliga giants for months. According to David Ornstein, only minor details remain to be resolved in a proposed four-year deal that would keep Davies at the Allianz Arena.
Davies has been a transformative presence for Bayern since his arrival from Vancouver Whitecaps in January 2019. The Canada national team captain has made an impressive 218 appearances for the German club, contributing significantly to their continued domestic dominance with five Bundesliga titles. His role was particularly crucial in Bayern's 2020 Champions League triumph.
This season, Davies has maintained his importance to the team, featuring in 23 matches across all competitions while recording one goal and three assists. However, his intense schedule led to him being withdrawn from Canada's CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals against Suriname in November, cited as a "precautionary measure due to physical fatigue."
While Real Madrid and several Premier League clubs have been monitoring the situation, the latest developments suggest Davies will extend his stay in Munich. The talented full-back is expected to return to action this weekend when Bayern host Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, potentially with his future at the club more secure than ever.
The news comes as Canada, who progressed 4-0 on aggregate in Davies' absence from the Nations League quarterfinals, prepares for a semifinal clash with Mexico in March. Davies' commitment to Bayern would provide clarity not only for his club future but also as he continues to lead his national team.
