What will the future of Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies look like? Davies’ agent Nick Huoseh was quoted by Bild earlier this month voicing some frustration with the current turmoil at Bayern Munich. “It’s a chaotic time at Bayern Munich,” Huoseh said in an interview with Bild. “I’m not sure what’s going on and who we’ll be talking to. There seems to be too much instability and uncertainty about the direction of the club.” Since the comments were made by Huoseh, Davies has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, but Transfermarkt understands that a contract renewal at Bayern remains the most likely scenario.
Bayern Munich made major headlines in May when the club fired both CEO Oliver Kahn and director of sport Hasan Salihamidzic. The decision emerged the same day that Bayern surprisingly won the title for an 11th straight season thanks to an epic collapse by Dortmund on matchday 34. Salihamidizic has been the major point of contact for the Davies’ camp, and with no sporting director in charge now, Huoseh has suggested to Bild that maybe both sides need to wait and see until 2024 to commence discussions.

Transfermarkt caught up with Huoseh, and the head of the ATG Sport Management agency underlined his frustration with the current situation. “We just don’t know who to talk to at the moment,” Huoseh said. The agent stressed that it was Salihamidzic who convinced Davies of his move to Munich, outlining a clear plan for the Canadian star. The Davies camp has since only ever dealt with Salihamidzic and has been rarely in contact with the likes of Uli Hoeneß or Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who will now take a bigger role at the club once again.
Alphonso Davies contract situation – Man City and Real Madrid interested?
That, of course, raises the question about Davies’ future. The Canadian men’s national team left-back is currently under contract until 2025. That means Bayern are under pressure to make a decision on the 22-year-old this season. “At this point, we are just waiting for a signal from the club,” Huoseh said. Indeed, talks with Bayern were going very well, but now doubt has crept in, and the Davies camp is certainly considering other options.
Those other options have been rumored to be Manchester City and Madrid. But despite reports from Marca stating otherwise, TM understands that neither Bayern nor the Davies camp have been approached by either club. If there is interest, those rumors have not gone to a stage where they can be taken seriously. That is not to say that it will not happen. Real Madrid, in particular, seems like an interesting destination even if there is some doubt among the Davies camp that they can afford the Canadian star after shelling €150m on Jude Bellingham and are still in need of signing a striker.

Man City also remain an outside option at the moment. The club is described as having several options already. That leaves Bayern in the driver’s seat, it appears. But the German serial champions have to act quickly. After all, Davies is one of the hottest commodities on the transfer market. With a market value of €70m, he remains the most valuable North American and the most valuable left-back on the planet.
