Bayern Munich defender Alphonso Davies has been linked with a move away from the German club in recent weeks.
Alphonso Davies will be a free agent next summer, and he could leave the German club for a reasonable amount of money in January. According to a report by TEAMtalk, Barcelona have now been handed a boost in their pursuit of the Canadian international.
Davies is reportedly open to a reunion with his former manager, Hansi Flick, who is currently managing Barcelona and pushing to land the player. The Catalan giants will face competition from Manchester United and bitter rivals Real Madrid as well. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona can get the deal done.
Barcelona will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with Davies in January, or they could sign him permanently in January for a reasonable amount of money. It will be interesting to see how the situation situation unfolds.
The 24-year-old pockets a reasonable £130,000-a-week wages and has established himself as one of the best left-backs in European football. He would be a sensational acquisition for all three clubs. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they cannot afford to pay a premium for players. They will be hoping to secure bargain additions, and Davies would be an exceptional bit of business.
Manchester United and Real Madrid keen
Manchester United are keen on signing a quality left-back as well, with Alphonso Davies a target. Luke Shaw has had his fair share of injury problems, and Davies would be an upgrade on the English defender. Tyrell Malacia has been unavailable for a while as well. Manchester United need to invest in the left-back department, and signing the Canadian on a bargain would be an impressive business.
As far as Real Madrid is concerned, they need to sign a quality left-back as well. Ferland Mendy has been quite underwhelming for them this season, and Carlo Ancelotti is not pleased with his performances. The Italian manager is looking for a new left-back, and Davies would be the ideal acquisition.
All three clubs have the financial muscle and the stature to attract the Bayern Munich defender, and it will be interesting to see who ends up signing him on a bargain. However, with Davies open to joining Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Madrid must step up.
