After a recent report by Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona’s pursuit of Alphonso Davies has become a major talking point.

According to the journalist, Barcelona met with Davies’s close associates following this year’s January transfer window, suggesting that they were interested in signing the Canadian.

But despite the preliminary talks, there hasn’t been any real movement to get him to Camp Nou.

This information was released when Davies’ contract talks with Bayern Munich were at a standstill. There is little hope for a resolution as the player’s relationship with the club seems to be deteriorating.

According to recent estimates, the likelihood of a contract renewal being agreed upon is extremely low, at about 10%. It appears more likely that Davies will depart Bayern on a free transfer if things continue as they are.

Barcelona is relying on Flick.

Barcelona is keeping a careful eye on the issue because they are well aware of this. They think they might have a leg up in enticing Davies, especially as he has a close bond with manager Hansi Flick, who was his coach at Bayern.

Barcelona hopes that their personal relationship with Flick will help them win the match, even though Real Madrid is also interested in the left-back.

Davies faced Barcelona’s emerging sensation, Lamine Yamal, during the Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich game. Davies was one of Bayern’s most impressive players, although occasionally struggling to contain Yamal.

He was spotted chatting briefly with Flick after the game, which only fuels rumors that a move to Barcelona may be imminent.

Barcelona must carefully evaluate Davies’ financial demands despite their desire. According to reports, the athlete is requesting a net yearly salary of €10 million in addition to a signing bonus of approximately €15 million.

The board of Barcelona is considering the deal’s costs in light of these noteworthy numbers.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, hasn’t completely given up. However, things could drastically change in January when Davies is permitted to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with international clubs.

Barcelona is very interested, but as Davies’ future becomes more apparent, they will have competition.
