According to Luis Miguelsanz of SPORT, Barcelona’s interest in Alphonso Davies has taken an interesting turn.
The close relationship between Davies and Hansi Flick turns out to be a crucial aspect of this, and it may be a major factor in the Catalan club’s attempts to sign him.
Following Barcelona’s recent 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich, Flick and Davies exchanged cordial welcomes, highlighting their connection.
Barcelona may have an edge as they contemplate a bid for Davies because of the bond they forged while working together at Bayern.
Indeed, there is a growing consensus within the club that bringing in a player of his caliber will greatly improve the team’s performance, particularly at left-back.
The parties have previously communicated.
Davies faced Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal in the most recent game, and despite occasionally finding it difficult to contain the youthful player, he was still one of Bayern’s top players.
Prior to the match, it was discovered that Barcelona had already contacted Davies’ agents to inquire about the prospect of signing him for free in June of next year.
This move might become a reality because of Flick’s close relationship with Davies from their time at Bayern.
Although it is clear that Barcelona is interested, we stated that Davies’ demands are exorbitant. This comprises a net salary of €10 million per season, which the club is closely assessing, and a signing bonus of more than €15 million.
In the meantime, conflicts between the club and Davies’ representation have stalled Bayern’s attempts to extend his contract. Real Madrid, on the other side, is still interested.
According to recent sources, contract talks have not gone well, and Bayern has urged Davies to reduce his demands. However, given the tense relationship between the two parties, it is possible that the player may depart Munich at the end of the current campaign.
