**Munich, Germany** – Bayern Munich is facing a crucial decision regarding the future of Alphonso Davies. Reports suggest the club may need to offer a package totaling €95 million to secure the Canadian left-back on a five-year contract.
According to journalist Christian Falk, the deal would involve a €16 million annual salary and a €15 million signing bonus. While initially seeming exorbitant, the figure reflects Davies’ resurgence under manager Vincent Kompany, after a period of less stellar performance under previous coaches. Falk’s report follows earlier news from Florian Plettenberg that Davies is willing to make “significant concessions” on his contract demands.
The negotiations come amidst recent off-field concerns surrounding Davies, following a drink-driving incident. Despite this, Bayern Munich is reportedly weighing the long-term value of Davies, considering him a key player for the future. The club must decide whether the hefty price tag is justified to retain a player who, at his best, is considered a world-class left-back. The decision deadline is fast approaching, as Davies becomes a free agent in the summer and can negotiate with other clubs starting January 1st. Bayern’s deliberations come as the team navigates a challenging period, following recent losses in the DFB-Pokal and a draw against rivals Borussia Dortmund.
