New Delhi: Bayern Munich have won the battle to retain Alphonso Davies, ending months of speculation over his future. The Canadian left-back was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, with reports suggesting Los Blancos had agreed terms with him. However, Bayern’s persistence in negotiations has led to an agreement to extend Davies’ contract until 2030.
Davies’ commitment comes with a significant upgrade to his financial package. According to reports, he will now earn €15 million annually, alongside performance bonuses and a signing bonus. Despite interest from top clubs like Real Madrid and Liverpool, Davies opted to stay in Munich, citing his comfort at the club and the financial advantages of the new deal.

Real Madrid were keen on securing the Canadian left-back, with the Spanish club facing major issues at the back throughout the season. Inconsistent performances and injury have costed the Los Blancos this season against strong opponents. Ancelotti’s side were keen on securing Davies as a long-term solution for their left back position. With doubts over Ferland Mendy’s form and Fran Garcia’s development, Davues was seen as the ideal candidate.
However, Bayern’s improved offer, combined with Davies’ personal preferences, turned the tide. Reports suggest that his agent, Nedal Huoseh, had explored options with other top clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, but Bayern’s offer was too compelling.
The extension is a win for all parties, including Davies’ former club, Vancouver Whitecaps. Thanks to sell-on clauses, the MLS side could earn up to 20 million Euros from the deal. Meanwhile, Bayern can now focus on maintaining their defensive stability, boosted further by the return of French full-back, Sacha Boey, from injury.
For Real Madrid, the search for a new left-back continues. With Alphonso Davies off the table, names like Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez are emerging as potential targets. Despite the disappointment, Real Madrid must pivot quickly to address a critical area in their squad.
Alphonso Davies has decided to stay at Bayern Munich, rejecting Real Madrid’s interest. His new deal runs until 2030, with an annual salary of €15 million, ensuring his future in Munich. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
